  The British Army suffered one of its greatest crises when in December 1899 the Boer irregulars inflicted three reverses in South Africa in 'Black Week'. A nation grown accustomed to success was stunned. Part of the answer was a very British blend of patriotism and pragmatism. For the first time civilian volunteers and part-time soldiers were allowed to fight overseas to the horror of traditionalist professional soldiers. Yet, by the end of the Boer War, almost 90,000 men had volunteered to serve the Colours. Much of sporting high society joined the newly formed Imperial Yeomanry. The Volunteers sent infantrymen to serve alongside the regulars and the City of London financed the raising of the City Imperial Volunteers. Men also came forward from the colonies. This book tells the story of these volunteer units.

In the context of these two opposed concepts, Arnold explores the nature of goodness, morality, self-improvement, and progress.   Written in response to upheaval and reactionary tumult in nineteenth-century Great Britain, Culture and Anarchy is a timeless treatise on society by a great philosophical mind.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  This is a mad, mad world. A world full of crazy humans. Our species is growing at an alarming rate; the globe is warming out of control; our food sources are being depleted; a massive energy crisis is looming and the pressure on each and every one of us to earn more, compete with our peers and look cool is so great that suicide rates are growing faster than ever. 
   
  Marry, have two children, hold down a good job, fight for your country, pay your mortgage and drive a petrol guzzling car. What about creativity, freedom, emotions? We are sold to, manipulated by marketing and propaganda, told what and who to believe. We are born and thrown into a bewildering world of control with no options and no purpose other than to feed the machine. 
   
  For many it all becomes too much and the pressure forces suicide. But is this the only way to live? No it is not. There are ways to escape the madness of human society. To escape the Queen Bee of capitalism and control. To no longer be a drone. 
   
  It is time to jump off.
