An account of the origins, development and battles of the Rifle
Regiments in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo from 1758 to
1815. Until now there has not been a serious study of the
rifle-armed regiments of the British Army that earned such
renown in the Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns. This new book
examines the new rifle regiments, how they came about, their
development and their actions. The training and tactics of the
riflemen are explained and each significant engagement in which
they were involved is explored in detail. With a foreword by
renowned Napoleonic historian Ian Fletcher.
Volume 2 of this impressive work covers Israeli half-tracks and
modified vehicles from 1960 to the present, and includes a short
section on captured BTR-152 wheeled APCs. The vehicles are seen in
a number of roles: troop transports, mine clearers, engineering
vehicles, anti-aircraft defence, command and communications
vehicles, mortar carriers and much more.

The Guards Brigade consisted of three battalions, the 3rd Grenadier
Guards, 1st Coldstream Guards and 1st Scottish Fusilier Guards (as
the Scots Guards were then known). The book examines the causes of
the War and provides an analysis of the woeful disorganization of
the Army (in contrast to the efficiency of the Royal Navy), as well
as the Brigade's performance in the major battles including Alma and
Inkerman. The author describes the Russians' plans, the ground, and
the conditions experienced by the long suffering troops, and
examines the roles and abilities of the various commanders
