The flintlock or firelock musket is one of the most iconic weapons
in history: used on the battlefields of the English Civil War, it
was then carried by both sides at Blenheim, Bunker Hill, Waterloo
and the Alamo, and dominated warfare for more than 150 years, with
military service as late as the American Civil War in the 1860s.
Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this engaging
study examines the role that the flintlock played in close-order
combat on European and other battlefields around the world.
Employing first-hand accounts to show how tactical doctrines were
successfully developed to overcome the weapon's inherent
limitations, Stuart Reid offers a comprehensive analysis of the
flintlock's lasting impact as the first truly universal soldier's
weapon.
