Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a good book or 2 on warfare during the AWI - any suggestions gratefully received.  I'm really looking at how the fighting was done so tactics, operational considerations, that sort of thing rather than a simple account of events.

Many thanks,

Richard

Westmarcher

With Zeal and With Bayonets Only by Matthew Spring and, my favourite, Fusiliers by Mark Urban.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Leman

A Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of Cowpens by Lawrence E Babits - lots of maps and tactical considerations, with a tight focus.
The artist formerly known as Dour Puritan!

Thank you everyone for those kind suggestions, some are already on order and the rest are on the wish list!

Kind regards,

Richard

The Military Experience in the Age of Reason by Duffy, if you haven't read it already.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Ooh yes, that is one I have and I have read it too!  Must dig it out again.

Kind regards,
