<p><b>In the first and only examination of how the British Empire and Commonwealth sustained its soldiers before, during, and after both world wars, a cast of leading military historians explores how the empire mobilized manpower to recruit workers, care for veterans, and transform factory workers and farmers into riflemen.</b></p><p>Raising armies is more than counting people, putting them in uniform, and assigning them to formations.
