'We are pleased to announce the release of The Army of George II 1727-1760: The Soldiers who Forged an Empire.
This book is a one-stop-shop for the British Army during the era of the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War. Chapters deal with organisation, recruitment, health care, and the experience of service at home, in Europe, in North America, and in the farthest reaches of 18th century Britain's growing empire. As the author makes plain throughout, his focus is on the soldiers who made Britain's eventual triumphs of the 1750s and 1760s possible, but the book also takes in the high command, tactics, equipment, and the conduct of battle. Appendices provide details of uniforms, lace, and facings. As well as a large number of black-and-white illustrations, 16 pages of colour are filled with specially commissioned plates by Patrice Courcelle as well as living history recreations of uniforms of the period.'
