Description
Redcoat: The British Soldier in the Age of Horse and Musket by Richard Holmes
This comprehensive history of the British soldier from 1700 to 1900 is a fascinating and engaging account of the men who served in the wars of Georgian and early Victorian England.
Through the stories and anecdotes of ordinary soldiers, Holmes provides a rich and detailed portrait of a fallible but extraordinarily successful fighting force, exploring themes of uniform, equipment, camaraderie, courage, and mortality.
