OverviewHUSSAR IN WINTER - A CAVALRYMAN'S EXPERIENCE OF A HARSH CAMPAIGN Alexander Gordon witnessed the Peninsular War against Napoleon's French Army from the saddle of a light cavalry mount. His was a campaign of patrols and piquets, scouting and skirmishing. Caught up in the gruelling winter campaign that was the retreat to Corunna, where the pressures of the constantly pursuing French were made worse by the privations of short rations, appalling weather and difficult terrain, Gordon tells a story of fighting withdrawal, but never of defeat. These pages also bring to life the fury and action of the Napoleonic cavalry charge that was the ambition of every horse soldier. Hussar in Winter is an essential Napoleonic memoir for anyone interested in the British Cavalry Full Product DetailsAuthor: Alexander GordonPublisher: Leonaur Ltd Imprint: Leonaur Ltd Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 1.40cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.376kg ISBN: 9781846770807ISBN 10: 1846770807 Pages: 188 Publication Date: 17 July 2006 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
