Klappentext Saul David is Professor of War Studies at the University of Buckingham and the author of several critically acclaimed books, including The Indian Mutiny: 1857, Zulu and, most recently, Victoria's Wars: The Rise of Empire . He recently presented 'Bullets, Boots and Bandages' for BBC 4 and is a regular contributor to Radio 4. Zusammenfassung Between 1660 and 1815 British supremacy on foreign soil was near total. Central to this success was the humble redcoat soldier who showed heroism in battle and stoicism in peace, despite appalling treatment. This book tells their story: of brutal discipline and inedible food, of loyalty and low pay, and of barracks and battlefield.
