Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Thus. THE RECOLLECTIONS OF RIFLEMAN HARRIS as told to Henry Curling. Edited and Introduced by Christopher Hibbert.

The unclipped dust wrapper has some rubs and one very small closed tear but is otherwise fine. Rifleman Harris' recollections of life in Wellington's peninsular army offers a deep insight into the affairs of the common soldier during the Napoleonic wars.

We hear of personal incidents and some amusing stories are recounted but the strength of the narrative lies in its immediacy and it is easy to see that the subjects want nothing more than an end to the continuing campaign. Told to an officer some years later who transcribed Harris' story, there is a refreshingly gritty reality to the narrative which at times seems to have more in common with the Bernard Cornwell Sharpe novels than with an historic account.
