Saul David's All The King's Men is a thrilling history of the
British Redcoat from the English Civil War to Waterloo. Between
1660 and 1815 British supremacy on foreign soil was near total.
Central to this success was the humble redcoat soldier who showed
heroism in battle and stoicism in peace, despite appalling
treatment. This is their story: of brutal discipline and inedible
food, of loyalty and low pay, of barracks and battlefield - of
victory, defeat, life and death. Praise for All The King's Men: 'An
extraordinary story, packed with drama, incident and great
characters...All The King's Men is all you could hope for...Quite
an achievement', Patrick Bishop, Country Life 'A heady mixture of
heroism, incompetence, devilish tactics and plain good luck',
Sunday Times 'Filled with swashbuckling derring-do, the reek of
blood and gunpowder, combined with shrewd analysis of power, war
and psychology', Simon Sebag Montefiore Saul David is Professor of
War Studies at the University of Buckingham and the author of
several critically acclaimed books, including The Indian Mutiny:
1857, Zulu and, most recently, Victoria's Wars: The Rise of Empire.
He recently presented 'Bullets, Boots and Bandages' for BBC 4 and
is a regular contributor to Radio 4.
