Under Every Leaf: How Britain Played the Greater Game from Afghanistan to Africa

Delving into an encyclopaedic array of little-known primary sources, William Beaver uncovers a vigorous intelligence function at the heart of Victoria`s Empire. A cadre of exceptionally able and dedicated officers, they formed the War Office Intelligence Division, which gave Britain`s foreign policy its backbone in the heyday of imperial acquisition.`Under Every Leaf` is the first major study to examine the seminal role of intelligence gathering and analysis in `England`s era`. So well did Great Britain play her hand, it seemed to all the world that, as the Farsi expression goes, “Anywhere a leaf moves, underneath you will find an Englishman.”The historian William Beaver is also a soldier, corporate communicator, arts editor and Anglican priest.
