About the Author:
Richard Holmes is a celebrated military historian and television presenter, famous for his BBC series 'War Walks' and 'Wellington'.

Review:
`An indispensible companion to the letters and journals.The photos are extraordinary ... Holmes's commentary is superlative. He notices everything ... it provides a calm, outstandingly knowledgeable guide to the carnage' Daily Mail`A very valuable book...Holmes's expertise in the minutiae of warfare makes him the ideal guide...One of the most readable of military historians...his empathy with his subject is obvious but he does not allow it to cloud his historical judgement. As a consequence specialists as well as general readers will gain much from this book.' BBC History Magazine (Pick of the Month)
