| Summary/Abstract |
Against a backdrop of pressing economic and strategic concerns shaping British policies after the Second World War, Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, embarked on an official tour of Africa in November–December 1947. He visited South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt, as well as other African territories. Montgomery’s controversial report and the reactions to it cast light on British attitudes towards and perceptions of her African empire in the immediate postwar period, as shaped by Labour government defence and developmental policies. At the same time, it invites reconsideration of Montgomery’s place in imperial and military historiography.

| Summary/Abstract |
omen are one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S .military population. Since the U.S. Department of Defense rescinded ‘Direct Ground Combat Definition and Assignment Rule,’ and implemented the 2016 policy to allow women into combat arms, the next time the United States goes to war, women will be at the battle forefront. This special issue of Defence and Peace Economics (DPE) explores the implication of the directive on the demand and supply of military labor and possible substitution and complementarity within military occupational classifications in response to the directive. The three papers highlighted in this special issue approach the status of women in the forces from three different aspects, integration, health, and education.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay briefly describes the course of British 3rd Division's attempt to capture Caen on D-Day, before addressing the development of the operational plan, its 'ways' and 'means' drivers, and how it was presented and tested, to identify signs of 'consent and evade' behaviour or ambiguity within the command chain. The main finding, that the strongest indications of evasive behaviour are in Montgomery's actions, sets the scene for an examination of the drivers, risks and benefits of practising evasion as opposed to clarity for operational commanders today. While operational commanders need to have political skills, the essay concludes that, in contrast to World War II, today's political and media realities require a tight match of intentions and planning, which has the effect of strengthening the commander's grip on the campaign.
