Review
‘Stephen Brumwell’s account of the British army in North America during the Seven Years’ War offers the most complete, vivid, and sophisticated account we have of the experiences and views of eighteenth-century common soldiers. With wide research, lucid prose, and (above all) compassion, he counts the human costs of empire, and brings to life the terrible war that built it.’ Fred Anderson, author of The Crucible of War
‘A fascinating, judiciously researched, and well-written study … This important book will enjoy a wide readership among specialists, students, and the general public. Its readability will make it a valuable addition in undergraduate survey courses and seminars.’ Ben Vinson III, The Historian
‘This is an excellent, challenging book, convincingly argued through many vivid stories and original research.’ Hugh Cecil, The Spectator
‘… perhaps Brumwell’s main achievement is to bring to life the personnel of the army - an achievement made possible not simply by his meticulous research but also by his vivid and engaging prose.’ History
'Redcoats is an engrossing and readable work that adds greatly to our understanding of the British army in the eighteenth century. For American historians, it provides a much needed addition to the many studies on provincial armies … the work also has a much wider importance for eighteenth-century British cultural and imperial historians … Redcoats is a significant and innovative work which makes an important addition to the literature not only of the British army, but also of eighteenth-century Britain and North America.' War in History
‘The appearance of Redcoats … announces the arrival of a major military historian … an outstanding combination of historical scholarship and robust prose … the story is so well written as to make it an epic tale …’ Times Literary Supplement
‘Redcoats has much to offer, and makes an important contribution to the slowly-growing corpus of work on the eighteenth-century Army. It will be enjoyed by specialist and non-specialist alike’ The Society for Army Historical Research
