As part of the Light Division created to act as the advance guard
of Wellington's army, the 95th Rifles are the first into battle and
the last out. Fighting and thieving their way across Europe, they
are clearly no ordinary troops. The 95th are in fact the first
British soldiers to take aim at their targets, to take cover when
being shot at, to move tactically by fire and manoeuvre. And by the
end of the six-year campaign they have not only proved themselves
the toughest fighters in the army, they have also - at huge
personal cost - created the modern notion of the infantryman. In an
exhilarating work of narrative military history, Mark Urban traces
the story of the 95th Rifles, the toughest and deadliest
sharpshooters of Wellington's Army. 'If you like Sharpe, then this
book is a must, your Christmas present solved.' Bernard Cornwell,
Daily Mail 'Urban writes history the way it should be written,
alive and exciting.' Andy McNab
