There's been a lot of 18th century interest recently. If you haven't read Christopher Duffy's "The Military Experience in the Age of Reason" yet, give yourself a treat. It's an irresistable page-turner.

Yes, an insightful look at how officers and men were recruited, trained and served in the second half of the century.  As usual, Duffy is spot on in his style and knowledge
of the period.

Very interesting book about SYW is to be published by Osprey in October 2010 :
A Far-Flung Gamble – Havana 1762 (Raid Series)
Must have for me, as I am planning to wargame it.
