This collection of essays re-examines the reaction of the Welsh people to war. Focussing on a series of conflicts from the mid-nineteenth to the mid twentieth centuries it offers a sharp corrective to the generally accepted picture of Wales as a nation wedded to pacifism. If those in the urban and industrial south, tied as they were into Britain's Imperial economy, were often enthusiastic proponents of and participants in armed conflict, a majority even in the rural areas could be relied upon to rally to the flag. This important collection, through its examination of the political, religious, cultural and social dimensions of war, will shed new light not only on the Welsh past, but that of Britain more generally.
