Book excerpt: "When the First World War ended, British troops crossed the Rhine into Germany and entetred a country torn apart by violence and unrest, where revolution was a constant threat, and civil war seemed more likely every day. There was also the risk of the war resuming if Germany refused to accept Allied terms. The British forces were plunged into the turmoil of a defeated country, facing political unrest and the expectations of a hostile German public, who were facing the victorious Allied forces taking over their country. The British troops were also disillusioned with their continued service as the majority of them has expected to be demobbed as soon as the war was won."--Back cover.
