内容説明
In 1783 the British army struggled home from North America in a shattered condition. It had acquitted itself well， but its regiments were now woefully understrength， and it was not until 1789 that they were again fit for service. Little more than three years later， Republican France declared war， and， apart from two short periods， the army was to be heavily engaged around the globe for the next 23 years. Beginning where Warrior 19 British Redcoat 1740-93 ends， Stuart Reid shows how the army was re-organised， re-equipped， re-trained and led from the bitter struggle in the West Indies to the final reckoning at Waterloo.
Book Description
70 b/w， 14 color 7 x 9 Osprey Trade edition of Warrior 19 Objects of grotesque caricature and popular distrust in their own times， British Redcoats nevertheless represented a formidable fighting force and laid the foundations of the British Empire. The British Army was drawn from a far lower percentage of the population than almost any other European army， and at home they were employed chiefly as a police force. This， coupled with their demonization in American folklore， earned the Redcoats a fearsome， yet undeserved reputation as a penal institution run by aristocratic dilettantes.
