British Light Infantry in the American Revolution by Robbie Macniven
A fully illustrated study that describes the formation, uniform, equipment, doctrine end tactics of Britains elite light infantrymen during the course of the American Revolutionary War.This will presented-work will be enjoyed by general readers but re-enactors and collectors will find it a great reference source. -- John Norris * GunMart.net *
This is an interesting overview of the development of British light infantry and provides a good entry into the subject. There are plenty of excellent illustrations and contemporary drawings along with photographs of re-enactors. I found the book informative and readable, providing a good insight into the foundations of the light infantry during this period. * Battlefield Magazine *
