Duke of Westminster's Medal for Military LiteratureÂ
Created with the support of The Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Westminster's Medal for Military Literature was awarded annually from 1997 - 2016.
The award was given to a book by a living author, regardless of nationality, gender or age, who made a notable and original contribution to the study of international and national security and defence.
