This book examines the experiences of the British Army soldiers; or 'redcoats'; who fought in North America and the West Indies between 1755 and 1763. It explores the Army's distinctive society; using new evidence to provide a voice for ordinary soldiers who have previously been ignored by historians. While other books on the period concentrate upon major personalities and events; this study examines events from the perspective of the individual: the experience of combat; captivity among the Indians; the Army's women and the fate of veterans. Stephen Brumwell is a former newspaper journalist and Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Leeds and now works as a freelance writer. He is the author of scholarly articles and the co-author of The Cassell Companion to 18th Century British History (2001). Hb ISBN (2001) 0-521-80783-2
