HUSSAR IN WINTER - A CAVALRYMAN'S EXPERIENCE OF A HARSH CAMPAIGN
Alexander Gordon witnessed the Peninsular War against Napoleon's
French Army from the saddle of a light cavalry mount. His was a
campaign of patrols and piquets, scouting and skirmishing. Caught
up in the gruelling winter campaign that was the retreat to
Corunna, where the pressures of the constantly pursuing French were
made worse by the privations of short rations, appalling weather
and difficult terrain, Gordon tells a story of fighting withdrawal,
but never of defeat. These pages also bring to life the fury and
action of the Napoleonic cavalry charge that was the ambition of
every horse soldier. Hussar in Winter is an essential Napoleonic
memoir for anyone interested in the British Cavalry
