Preview Queen Victoria's Commanders (Elite 71)

Description:
The leaders of Queen Victoria's armies during the British Empire's greatest years were trained for war from their teenage years. Some had fought under Wellington, and in the Crimea; most rose from junior regimental rank to senior command through a series of hard campaigns in India and elsewhere. To make a mark in Victoria's army demanded personal courage, tough-minded confidence, and unswerving obedience to duty. This book concisely covers the careers and often-colourful personalities of more than 20 generals and colonels, and includes a few distinguished junior officers and NCOs who represent the breed of men whom they commanded in battle.
