Description
Warriors in Scarlet: The Life and Times of the Last Redcoats
By 1860, the British army had undergone a seismic transformation. Drawing men from rural life, city slums, and even prison sentences, they were trained to fight using techniques that had defeated Napoleon.
This gripping history draws on evocative accounts from ordinary soldiers as well as officers to recreate daily life in the army, from floggings and desertions to comradeship. Ian Knight vividly recounts battles such as the Retreat from Kabul and Chillianwallah, showing that despite facing diverse enemies around the world, the British troops won more than four-fifths of their battles.
