Ian Fletcher has skilfully woven together over 700 extracts to tell the story of the intervening years: brilliant defensive battles, lightning forced marches, nightmare retreats and devastating bayonet charges. Between the warfare, both heroic and tragic, there is the everyday life of an army: the need to find fodder for the horses, the chaos of makeshift hospitals and camps and moments of calm or even luxury in an abandoned castle or convent. These three volumes reveal the human experiences and military realities of the campaigns that won glory for the British army and rewrote the map of Europe for a century.\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description.
