Playing the Game: The British Junior Infantry Officer on the Western Front 1914-18 (Helion Studies in Military History)
Christopher Moore-Bick was educated at Winchester College. It was here that he gained his (to date limited) military experience as a member of the Royal Marine detachment of the school's Combined Cadet Force, also serving for a period as Lord Lieutenant's Cadet for Hampshire. He read history at Christ's College, Cambridge, concentrating on modern British, European and colonial topics including the culture of the two World Wars, intelligence in the 20th Century, and Kenyan independence. Graduating in 2001, he stayed in Cambridge until 2004 to research and write his postgraduate theses on the experiences and culture of First World War officers. During this time he also did some undergraduate teaching on the early decades of modern British intelligence. In 2005 he started working for the Ministry of Defence. He is married and lives in London.
