good entry level read July 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have recently bought this book along with a couple of Osprey on British and French infantry tactics during Napoleonic wars.
Put it very briefly, get this book instead of the Ospreys. It covers not only infantry, cavalry, artillery but also naval warfare. The book gives numerous lively examples and accounts about the different achievements of each arm. One can find numerous battles explained with maps, each detailing the successes of a particular use of cavalry, artillery or infantry.
This little book does extremely well in its own modest and pedagogical way what others more convoluted writings fail to achieve: inspire!
As a conclusion: a well written and engaging entry level book. Happy with it and will read it again with pleasure.
