British Light Infantryman of the Seven Year's War: North America 1757-63
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The British Light Infantryman of the Seven Years War was a "chosen man", proficient at scouting and skirmishing, and more than a match for the French and their ruthless Indian allies. Shooting rapids in canoes and whaleboats, traversing swamps or jungles and snowshoeing through endless tracts of forest, British redcoats earned a reputation for resilience and resourcefulness as they adapted to the wilderness conditions of North America. Their development was a watershed in the history of irregular warfare, and this book provides a full examination of their fighting methods, covering training, tactics and campaigning from Canada to the Caribbean.
