The Story Of Sandhurst
By Hugh Thomas
Published by Hutchinson: London 1961 1st Edition

" Hugh Thomas's The Story of Sandhurst is a concise history of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the prestigious training ground for British Army officers. The book traces the academy's origins in the early 19th century, when it was established to professionalize the officer corps, through its development into a symbol of discipline, tradition, and leadership. Thomas describes the daily routines of cadets, the rigorous academic and military training, and the academy's emphasis on character, duty, and service to crown and country.

Alongside institutional history, Thomas highlights the personalities who passed through Sandhurst and went on to shape British and imperial history, as well as the evolving role of the academy in response to modern warfare and social change. The book blends anecdote with historical detail, capturing both the pageantry of ceremonies and the realities of training life. Ultimately, The Story of Sandhurst portrays the academy not just as a military school, but as an enduring symbol of Britain's martial tradition and its ideals of leadership."
