Seller's Description
This paperback is Mark Urban's account of the 'RIFLES (Wellington's Sharpshooters)' published by Faber & Faber Books in the UK in 2004. Book is in reasonable condition, (see picture). 351 pages + 16 pages of photographs. Picture is of actual book.
SYNOPSIS: As part of the Light Division created to act as the advance guard of Wellington's army, the 95th Rifles are the first into battle and the last out. Fighting, thieving and raping their way across Europe, they are clearly no ordinary troops. The 95th are in fact the first British soldiers to take aim at their targets, to take cover when being shot at, to move tactically by fire and manoeuvre. And by the end of the six-year campaign they have not only proved themselves the toughest fighters in the army, they have also - at huge personal cost - created the modern notion of the infantryman.
