Synopsis
"Probably the most complete machine for its numbers now existing in Europe" was how the Duke of Wellington described his army in 1813. Drawing on a huge array of sources, including unpublished contemporary material, Wellington's Military Machine describes in detail the composition and evolution of the British Army and its Allied foreign contingents, from the earliest campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars until the final triumph at Waterloo. All aspects are covered, from the life of the ordinary redcoat to weaponry, tactics, administration, the supporting services at home and the numerous 'foreign corps'; and to the military genius of Wellington himself, all of which are supported by lavish illustrations. An account of all the campaigns undertaken from the first landing in the Netherlands in 1793 to Waterloo show how this army was employed, including not only the famous episodes like the Peninsular War but such little-regarded expeditions as those to South America in 1806, to Denmark, Egypt, the Cape and north America, and in India where Wellington gained his first victories.
