Has the feel of sitting on a grandfather's knee listening to stories of his good-old days, loosely stitched onto a chronology of the Peninsular War. The stories are all over the board, and often not what Kincaid experienced but what he heard from fellow officers. Decent and amusing, but not as good as "Adventures".

Sir John Kincaid served in the 95th Rifles, later the famed Rifle Brigade, throughout the Peninsular War and during the Belgian Campaign. This book is a follow-up to "Adventures in the Rifle Brigade," whose success spurred the author into publishing a second tome of recollections. His style is witty, pithy and framed with a long and hard fought insight into the warfare of the period. His Reminiscences embrace the famed leaders of the period; such as Wellington, Craufurd, Sidney Beckwith et al. as well as the common soldiers that he fought with each day. Highly recommended Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
