But how did Britain develop its complex military strategy during these wars, and how were decisions made by those at the top?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Prior examines the influence politicians had on military operations, in the first history to assess both world wars together. Drawing uniquely on both military and political archives and previously unexamined sources Prior explores the fraught relationships between civilian and military leaders: from Lloyd George’s remarkably interventionist stance on military tactics during the First World War to Churchill’s near-constant arguments with American leaders during the Second. Conquer We Must tells the complex story of this military decision-making, revealing how politicians attempted to control strategy—but had little influence on how the army, navy, and air force actually fought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Robin Prior\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUnited Kingdom, Great Britain, c 1914 to c 1918 (including WW1) , c 1918 to c 1939 (Inter-war period), c 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2), British \u0026amp; Irish history, 20th century history: c 1900  to c 2000, First World War, Second World War, Defence strategy, planning \u0026amp; research\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 14 Apr 2026 by Yale University Press.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robin Prior","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57321013543290,"sku":"9780300287134","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/24869083482294.jpg?v=1790668955","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/conquer-we-must-9780300287134","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
