Book Synopsis
Although an army's success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field. In Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword, military historian Andrew Bamford assesses the effectiveness of the British Army in sustained campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars.

Trade Review
Andrew Bamford's first-rate study provides an excellent reminder of key aspects of soldiering during the Napoleonic wars. Well grounded in the sources, this book is of importance not only for the history of the British army but also for that of other armies of the period."" - Jeremy Black, author of The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon and Fighting for America: The Struggle for Mastery in North America, 1519 - 1871

""An important work that will be required reading for students of the British army of the Napoleonic wars, this study provides the first account ever written of how Britain managed its limited military manpower. The book's conclusions will both surprise and impress."" - Charles J. Esdaile, author of Outpost of Empire: The Napoleonic Occupation of Andalucía, 1810 - 1812
