The long-standing need to explore the myth of "imperial defense" is at last answered by Dr. Preston's important reinterpretation of the evolution of British Empire and Commonwealth defense co-operation. The author's use of primary sources in the dominions for information regarding individual dominion military histories outdates previous historians who used mainly British sources. This different orientation produces forcefully different results, for it redefines the origin and real meaning of "imperial defense" by showing the Commonwealth military system to be, not a vestige of the earlier Empire system, but a result of the natural aspirations and needs of the colonies themselves. After discussion of early colonial defense, effected principally by British naval power, and after description of the gradual co-ordination of the so-called imperial army emerging from strong trends in the dominions operating prior to World War I, Dr.
Preston explains the vital importance of the colonies in the success of Commonwealth war efforts. His study seek the origins of British Commonwealth relationships in the history of the dominion, and especially of Canadian, military and naval developments. Beginning from a colonial view of these developments within the individual dominions rather than from the standard emphasis on imperial defense planning, the author implements his research by an extensive use of defense files in dominion military archives --
material heretofore frequently ignored. A new look at colonial roles in the replacement of shadowy imperial organization by effective voluntary naval and military co-operation is taken by means of a thorough examination of the positive Canadian influence on the defensive system of the British Empire and Common Wealth. Because of the importance of the Australasian colonies' contributions to imperial naval defense, Canada's peculiar strategic problem forced her into a role that was out of sympathy with British imperial defense proposals. Canada's pilot role in rejection of an enforced centralized military establishment led to the voluntary setting up of uniform training, weapons, and organization system and welded Commonwealth armies and navies into a strong unity of effort that proved repeatedly successful in wartime. The resulting exploitation of national sentiment in the dominions proved more cohesive and longer-lasting than other imperial ties.
