Although light infantry tactics formed one of the cornerstones of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815); their employment was by no means restricted to Light regiments. Thus; from the early 1800s; if not before; the distinction between Light and Line infantry was largely one of costume and tradition. One marked difference from the Line infantry; however; was in the superior ésprit de corps of the Light regiments. Their attitude of superiority was reinforced by their different (and often more impressive) uniform; the theoretical difference in role; and supposed superior training. Philip Haythornwaite examines their uniforms in a volume including eight superb colour plates by Brian Fosten.

Review
1 of 8 people found the following review helpful. It's in "new" conditionBy Danielle FiandacaI bought this book because I needed it for class. First of all; the book is so boring; I feel asleep while reading the book in the library several times. I would never recommend the book. Second; the person I purchased the book from said the book was in NEW condition. I received the book yesterday to find that there are pages bent; the cover is slightly worn. I usually wouldn't mind this if I did not pay for a book in NEW condition.
