by Phillip Haythornthwaite. Softbound, 64 pages, 7" x 9". The rifle corps of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars are among the most recognizable of all the soldiers of that era. These men were, in their time, at the cutting edge of military technology and tactical theory. The author uses fascinating first hand accounts and detailed research to give a "soldier's eye view" of the British Rifleman, his life and work.
