Published in 1879, Major Duncan's (of the Royal Artillery) 'History of the Royal Regiment of Artillery' in two large volumes was, in its time, an exceptional and highly detailed examination of the gunners and guns of the British Army. From 17th century, when his history, written with indisputable authority begins, he considers formation, administration, equipment and campaigns up to the later in 19th century. This Leonaur book, created from the larger work for those students and readers of military history who are particularly concerned with the period, focuses entirely on the activities of the Field Artillery and the Royal Horse Artillery during the wars against Napoleonic France. The narrative covers in detail the activities of the British gunners on battlefields and sieges of the Peninsular War in Portugal and Spain and during the Waterloo Campaign of 1815. This unique edition has been enhanced with illustrations not present in the original version of the text.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, this book investigates the everyday human experience of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars by French military and civilians, the impact of these wars on the French nation and society, and the rise of a new kind of war in the West at the turn of the nineteenth century.
Описание: Views of Europe during the Napoleonic Age The last years of the 18th Century and the first years of the nineteenth century were typified by revolution and warfare. Europe was torn apart by conflict as the hereditary rulers of the Continent fought to defeat first Revolutionary, then Consulate and finally the Imperial France of Napoleon Bonaparte. The authors of the letters which comprise this book were distinctive in that as educated and well placed English people they travelled to the Continent during or after its most turbulent or significant events. Their correspondence, written from the Continent after the Peace of Amiens of 1802-03, after the Peace of Paris of 1814 and after the conflict at Waterloo in Belgium, has left posterity a collection of impressions and insights into the effects of these great times on the nations, cities, towns and people of Europe from a British perspective. Stanley's examination of the field of battle at Waterloo is often quoted and his water colour paintings (reproduced here in monochrome) are often utilised as illustrations of the battle's main locations. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
