The story encompasses the final despatch of history's greatest soldier - Napoleon - and the subjugation of Asian and African potentates. John Strawson presents a compelling account of Kipling's Beggars in Red.

He is one of Britain's most brilliant - and accurate - military analysts and is the author of many books including Hitler as Military Commander and Gentlemen in Khaki.
