Synopsis
During the long reign of Queen Victoria, the men of Britain - attired in red coats or dusty khaki - fought more than sixty military campaigns around the world. Hardly a year passed without the British Army being engaged in some far-flung corner of the globe, building and defending the Empire.
In this book Donald Featherstone provides a vivid and accurate taste of Victorian soldiering in Africa and India, from the mountains of the North-West Frontier to the sands of Egypt. Rather than detail each facet of battle strategy, he seeks to impart to the reader the true flavour of the nineteenth century battlefield, the type of men who fought, how they were trained and armed, and the foes they encountered.
The author of many books and articles on a wide variety of military history topics, Donald Featherstone brings to the subject a special vitality and empathy with the fighting man, evoking those colourful days of nineteenth-century imperial adventure, derring-do, comradeship and fighting spirit.
