Imperial Defence is a book written by Charles Wentworth Dilke, a British politician and author, originally published in 1892. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the British military and naval strategies during the late 19th century, with a particular focus on the country's imperial interests around the world.Dilke's book discusses the challenges faced by the British Empire in maintaining its global dominance, including the rise of other imperial powers such as Germany and the United States. He argues that the key to maintaining British supremacy lies in a strong military and naval presence, and provides detailed recommendations for improving these forces.The book covers a wide range of topics related to imperial defence, including the role of the navy in protecting British trade routes, the importance of maintaining a strong army to defend against foreign invasion, and the need for colonial troops to support British forces in distant parts of the world. Dilke also discusses the political and economic factors that influence imperial defence, and provides a historical overview of British military strategy from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day.Overall, Imperial Defence is an important historical document that provides insight into the military and political thinking of the late Victorian era. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of the British Empire and the development of modern military strategy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
