Summary:	"Charles Edward Callwell (1859-1928) was one of Britain's great military thinkers. As a soldier he eventually rose to the rank of Major-General and was created KCB, having served his country in numerous roles. As a writer he produced a large body of work, including his most famous book, Small Wars: Their Principles and Practice (1896). Less well known, but equally important, is his Military Operations and Maritime Preponderance: Their Relations and Interdependence (1905). Indeed, his contribution to the art of war was recognised in 1921, when he received the prestigious Chesney medal of the Royal United Services Institution (RUSI), awarded for 'his distinguished work in connection with military literature'. Other winners have included Alfred Thayer Mahan (the first winner), Julian Corbett, J.F.C. Fuller and Basil Liddell Hart. However, compared with such luminaries, Callwell has been comparatively neglected, despite enduring interest in Small Wars. Insufficient scholarly attention has been paid to his career and oeuvre. This book will be an attempt to fill the gap. It is the first major study of the man and his work"--
