Militarism has traditionally been regarded as a phenomenon of the political right. As this book demonstrates, however, various groups on the political left in Britain during the years before the Great War were able to accommodate, and even assimilate, militaristic ideas, sentiments, and policies to a remarkable degree.

MATTHEW JOHNSON is the Stevenson Junior Research Fellow in History at University College, Oxford, UK. This is his first book.
