Book in fine condition. Dustjacket in very good condition, just slightly bumped at spine ends, small white label inside front flap. 300pp, including bibliography and index. With line drawing at start of each chapter. From d/j flap - " This is the story of the British soldier from Anglo-Saxon times to the French Revolution. It is not the history of campaigns and regiments, but of the men who went to war: their story in their own words. A collection of original narratives written by men like the poet at the Battle of Maldon in 991, the chroniclers of the Crusades, the splendid Corporal Todd - and by Kit Ross, the most remarkable woman ever to have worn the King's coat."
