Lord Ashcroft & Isabel Oakeshott - White Flag: An Examination of the UK's Defence Capability - 246 points An Army Book in the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop wargame, is a rules supplement containing information concerning a particular army, environment, or worldwide campaign. The author writes a fact-based narrative that makes the reader visualise all the scenes narrated in an easy-to-understand language.Another reason, which author Simon Akam explores in great detail in his excellent and valuable book, is that the British army has made great and often very effective efforts to close down any criticism, constructive or otherwise. The publication of the book was fraught with difficulty as the military establishment closed ranks. (The original publisher was Penguin Random House, which put the book on hold, telling Akam there was a “quite unprecedented level of withdrawal of support and co-operation for the book from multiple sources”). This alone goes a long way to substantiating the author’s powerful accusation that the army, a reflexively defensive, instinctively conservative and opaque institution, has limited ability to adapt to change, whether military, social or political. And this means things go wrong.
