Editorial Reviews

Product Description

For sheer guts, the Redcoats' behaviour at Bunker Hill, Saratoga and other bloody encounters has rarely been surpassed. The Americans won, but only just, and then thanks to foreign intervention and a small number of dedicated and valiant patriots who were continually let down by their own people. Robin May's splendid work looks at the British Army that fought in the American Revolution from 1775 to1783. It details the soldiers who faced the difficulties of campaigning in America along with the gross inefficiency and corruption at home which, along with their generals' often blundering conduct, were as deadly enemies as the Americans.


From the Publisher

Packed with specially commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams, the Men-at-Arms series is an unrivalled illustrated reference on the history, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the world's military forces, past and present.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, but lacking in detail, August 25, 2006
By Veritas (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews
In general I like this book in spite of the fact that it is not exactly what I was looking for. It gives a good, broad overview of the conditions and trials that a redcoat faced while fighting in the American Revolution, and it certainly humanizes them dispels many stereotypes.
The problem is that it is lacking in what people usually buy an Osprey MAA for, namely uniform detail. There are of course the color plates, and they are well done, but very little specifics on the uniforms and in particular how they evolved as the war progresses.
For the price, it is hard to complain and I dd feel I got value for money, but as an earlier title it is not up to Osprey's current standards and perhaps could do with revising.
