Continuous warfare became an accepted way of life in the Victorian era, and in the process the size of the British Empire quadrupled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But engrossing as these small wars are--and they bristle with bizarre, tragic, and often humorous incident--it is the officers and men who fought them that dominate this book.
