The result of more than twenty years' research, this is now the standard single-volume reference. The work is divided into four main sections: pre-1914; the Great War and Third Afghan War; the Second World War and Korea; other post-WWII conflicts to the first Gulf campaign of 1991. In addition to the extensively tabulated honours themselves, there are very useful extended introductions to each section covering structure and organisation by country.
