Excerpt from The Problem of the Army The general revival of interest in the question of Army Reform which has been the result of the publication of the proceedings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the South African War has encouraged me to avail myself of the kind permission extended to me by The Times to republish in book form and under my own name the series of articles which appeared in their columns during January and February of this year under the title of 'The Problem of the Army.' The present work is, however, somewhat more than a mere republication. Most of the chapters have been not only revised, but to a very considerable extent rewritten. A complete additional chapter has been inserted, containing suggestions for the reorganization of the War Office on the lines of Lord Esher's memorandum appended to the report of the War Commission. The defects of Mr. Brodrick's Army Corps scheme of 1901 are more fully analyzed, and an alternative plan, which was only hinted at in the original articles, is now sketched out in some detail.
