The British Infantry 1660-1945 The Evolution of a Fighting Force
A very interesting book on the evolution of a fighting force. chronicles 300 years of the major campaigns, successes and failures of the British Infantry and also charts the organizational and tactical changes that the Infantry underwent. A wide range of wars are examined but those covered in considerable detail are The Seven Years War, the Peninsular War, the South African War and the two World Wars. Another important aspect in the Infantry's development was the systematic introduction of its weapons, and this is covered too.
