 THOSE
ENTRUSTED WITH ARMS - A History of the Police, Post, Customs and Private Use
of Weapons in Britain
Frederick Wilkinson
(304 pages) STK
Price $49.95
HB
This fascinating study examines the use of arms within
British society, principally for the protection of life and property, from
medieval and Tudor times to the present.
Those Entrusted with Arms, produced in association
with the Royal Armories, is a unique study of armed public servants and
charts this complicated and neglected aspect of British history in an
accessible and readable way. With chapters on early "police" forces,
security guards, customs officers, those charged with carrying the Royal
Mail, the modern police force, prison officers, and gamekeepers, this
detailed book offers an insight into how British society has developed its
own distinctive relationship with law enforcement and the rights of citizens
to bear arms.
