The British Army of the Eighteenth Century, Hardback Book

The British Army of the Eighteenth Century Hardback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Military and Naval History series

Hardback

Description

This book, originally published in 1977 examines in detail the organisation, training, and personnel of the British Army during the eighteenth century, and explains how the government policies of containing the enemy and colonial conquest were achieved.

It also illustrates how the Army survived the constant nervousness of Parliament in reducing its strength after each emergency had passed.

There are specific chapters devoted to the strategies of Marlborough, Amherst and Howe and to tactics as displayed at the battles of Ramillies, Fontenoy, Camden and Guildford Court House.
