Although predominantly written by and for past and present members of the Corps, this volume is to be particularly commended for making sense of a particularly knotty period of change, reorganisation and increased rearrangement to create tri-service structures. (The latter intended at their core to save money). It is freely stated that many opportunities for REME officers were lost in this process, but others emerged. If you wore the horse and lightning this is an essential purchase; non-specialists will find a definitive work which is very useful in recording and unravelling particularly turbulent times for the Army. At the price a very worthwhile purchase.

★★★★★ Although I have not studied those aforementioned earlier volumes - had they been the story of my own Corps I would have rushed out to find those books ‘missing’ from my own collection and, doubtless learned a lot more than I already knew. If any members of the REME now do likewise, they will not be disappointed.
