This is not a history book in the normal genre, it is an observation of the British soldier circa 1800's. Who he was, how he thought and the equipment he used and his evolution as the century passed. the extensive use of quotations from diaries, letters and official documents makes this a fascinating and enjoyable read. Highly recommended to anyone interested in this period of history.

Quite a heavy read but that’s because of all the history and battles and general life of a redcoat soldier/officer
