However, due to its role as a police force at home, and demonisation by American propaganda, the army was viewed as little removed from a penal institution run by aristocratic dilettantes. This view, still held by many today, is challenged by Stuart Reid, who paints a picture of an increasingly professional force. This was an important time of change and improvement for the British Army, and British Redcoat 1740-1793 fully brings this out in its comprehensive examination of the lives, conditions and experiences of the late 18th-century infantryman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction · Recruitment · Pay and Subsistence · Living Conditions · Career · Training and Tactics · Bibliography · Glossary","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742788976983,"sku":"9781855325548","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781855325548.jpg?v=1758386573","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/british-redcoat-1740-93-9781855325548","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
