A famous cavalry regiment at war with Napoleon
As its commanding officer and as a noted Oxford University
academic Colonel Henry Hamilton was well placed to write the
history of the 14th (King's) Hussars. His full regimental history
covers from the origins of the regiment in 1715 to its service
during the Boer War at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
While some military history students require a work of this depth,
there are those who are primarily concerned with the periods when
regiments were on active service. For the 14th (King's) Hussars in
the 19th century, this was during the Napoleonic Wars, principally
during the Peninsular War in Spain and in the South of France, and
later in India where as H. M 14th (King's) Light Dragoons they
served with distinction in the Second Sikh War and during the
Indian Mutiny. By carefully editing Hamilton's book, and adding
illustrations and maps and supplementary material not originally
present, the Leonaur editors have created two linked volumes that
focus on these periods of the regiment's history. The Fighting 14th
follows the campaigns under Wellington and will be an essential
addition to the library of every student of the war in the Iberian
peninsula. It benefits from the inclusion of a number of
significant passages from the memoirs of one of the regiments most
renowned and daring officers, Captain Thomas Brotherton, whose
entertaining and compellingly recounted adventures bring the
history of this cavalry regiment vibrantly to life.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
