Redcoats. por Barker, A. J - 1976

Very good. Gordon and Cremonesi, 1976, used trade paperback, in a worn dj, light wear, no owner's mark or underlining.

This is a first edition of Redcoats, written in 1976 by the British Army Colonel A.J.Barker (1918-1981). The sub-title is 'They made America safe for Americans, and Canada safe for Canadians.'
The Redcoats (British Regulars), were known as the Colonial bogeymen—vilified by the British at home, hated by the French and the Indians, and reviled by the Americans. They arrived in America in 1755 and proved themselves to be as adept at European-style warfare as they were at the sniper-based battles with Indians and frontiersmen. And, by weakening the Indians and halting the French expansion from the north, it was really the Americans they were serving. It is an intimate and intricate study of an interesting and influential military machine.
156 pages. The dust jacket (unclipped) has significant wear. There is a line of fading on the front cover. The paper has darkened. Otherwise perfect.
