This superb hardback book takes a comprehensive look at Salvation Army bands; how they began, how they developed around the world and how they have played a major role in the Salvation Army's ministry for over 125 years.

Band historian Ronald W. Holz has uncovered a wealth of information from many different sources together with some remarkable photographs, including a band of over 1000 players performing at the 1904 Congress with General William Booth. The book features hundreds of personalities including Richard Slater, Bramwell Coles, Erik Leidzén, Arthur Gullidge, Eric Ball, Ray Steadman-Allen, William Himes and many more.

Packed full of information and stories from around the world to make you laugh and reflect, and including around 200 photos and illustrations, there has never been a book quite like it!
