'[A] Jane Austen-meets-Bernard Cornwell novel' Daily Mail Raw
recruits march under the summer sun. But on distant shores a
terrible event is about to sing its siren's song to the true
soldier gentlemen of Britain. For it is 1808, and the Peninsular
War is about to erupt . . . Meet the men of the 106th Foot, a new
regiment staffed by young gentlemen who know nothing of war.
William Hanley is in the army because he has no other livelihood.
Hamish Williams, a man without money or influence, is hoping war
will make his name. Their friend Billy Pringle believes the rigours
of combat will keep him from the drinking and womanising that are
his undoing. And for George Wickham, battle is simply another means
of social climbing. When the band of four are plunged into a savage
war against the veteran armies of Napoleon, they find their
illusions shattered and their lives changed for ever as they face
the brutality of the battlefield . . . Combining the vivid detail
of a master historian with the engaging characters and pulsating
action of a natural storyteller, True Soldier Gentlemen is perfect
for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O'Brian, C.S. Forester, Allan
Mallinson and Simon Scarrow. ********************* 'It's so well
written, flows so well, that the detail does not drag you down . .
. a fantastic read, well written, well laid out and absorbing from
start to finish' Goodreads reviewer 'Having now read quite a few
novels set during the Napoleonic Wars, I was extremely impressed by
Adrian Goldsworthy's knowledge of the period and his ability to
relate this to the reader without it reading like a history text'
