Rebels and Redcoats by Hugh Bicheno

Rebels and Redcoats by Hugh Bicheno

Controversial and revisionist history of Americas first civil war. Published with hugely successful accompanying four-part BBC TV series written and presented by star military historian, Richard Holmes.

'Redcoat is a wonderful book, full of anecdote and good senseAnyone who has enjoyed a Sharpe story will love it, anyone who likes history will want to own it and anyone who cherishes good writing will read it with pleasure.' BERNARD CORNWELL, Daily Mail 'It would be hard to exaggerate the excellence of this book. It is vivid, comprehensive, well-written, pacy, colourful, and above all, highly informative. The author has a command of his subject of Wellingtonian proportions, and his enthusiasm communicates itself to the reader on every page.' Simon Heffer, Literary Review 'This is an army from another, and Redcoat is a splendidly entertaining, moving and informative description of its strengths and foibles.' Hew Strachan, Daily Telegraph
