Redcoat is the brilliant story of the common British soldier from 1700 to 1900, based on the letters & diaries of the men who served & the women who followed them.

Delving into the history of the period – charting events including Wolfes victory & death at Quebec, Wellingtons Peninsular War, Waterloo, the retreat from Kabul & the Sikh wars – celebrated military historian Richard Holmes provides a comprehensive portrait of a fallible but extraordinarily successful fighting force.
