Dr Michael Brown is a lecturer in the Department of Scottish History at the University of St Andrews, Scotland.

This is his first book for Osprey Publishing.

He specializes in detailed historical reconstructions, and has illustrated Osprey titles on subjects as diverse as the Aztecs, the Ancient Greeks, Roman battle tactics, 19th-century American subjects, the modern Chinese Army, and the history of fortification.
