PDF Islam and the Foundations of Political Power: (In Translation: Modern Muslim Thinkers) (In Translation Modern Muslim Thinkers EUP) by Ali Abdel Razek in History

Description

The best-selling author of The Battle; Alessandro Barbero; was asked which action saved Wellington at Waterloo prior to the arrival of the Prussians. He replied: "If I should indulge in that game; I’d say the cavalry charge which effectively broke d’Erlon's attack." The greatest contributor to that charge was the King’s Dragoon Guards (KDG); which fielded nearly half of the Household Brigade’s sabers. This book tells the remarkable story of the KDG before; during; and after the battle of Waterloo; drawing on private; unpublished archive material. It concludes with their link to the Queen’s Dragoon Guards. HRH The Prince of Wales is Colonel-in-Chief 1st Queen’s Dragoon Guards.
