Inhoud:

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.
