Descriptionof Death before Glory. The British Soldier in the West Indies in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815
-
Manufacturer
Death Before Glory! is a highly readable, thoroughly researched and comprehensive
study of the British armys campaigns in the West Indies during the Napoleonic period
and of the extraordinary experiences of the soldiers who served there. Rich in sugar,
cotton, coffee and slaves, the region was a key to British prosperity and it was perhaps
even more important to her greatest enemy France. Yet, until now, the history of this
vital theatre of the Napoleonic Wars has been seriously neglected. Not only does Martin
Howard describe, in graphic detail, the entirety of the British campaigns in the region
between 1793 and 1815, he also focuses on the human experience of the men the
climate and living conditions, the rations and diet, military discipline and training, the
treatment of the wounded and the impact of disease. Martin Howards thoroughgoing and
original work is the essential account of this fascinating but often overlooked aspect of
the history of the British army and the Napoleonic Wars.
