Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the lesser-known factors influencing military success, Andrew Bamford examines the British Army's effectiveness during the Napoleonic Wars. He argues that the outcomes of campaigns were shaped more by the daily experiences of regimental units than by the overall army strategy. This perspective challenges traditional views of military history and highlights the importance of the soldiers' well-being and morale in sustained campaigning.
