Abstract
In addition to a detailed and chronological account of the campaigning, and insights into the characters of the miitary and political leaders, the book incudes an important section on a subject frequently neglected: how an army was formed, how its members were recruited, how regiments were raised, trained and equipped, how an army was provisioned, marshalled in the field, how its artillery was managed, and ultimately how it fought, advanced or retreated. Extensive use has been made of contemporary drill-books, manuals, accounts by military theorists and practical soldiers, eye-witness accounts and memoirs.
