Description: "The Royal Green Jackets were among the best known of the Light Infantry regiments of the British Army that trace their descent from the semi-irregular British forces operating in North America and the Caribbean in the 18th century. Lessons learned from Native Americans and irregulars fighting on the side of the American Colonies were later put to good use by British Rifle Brigades in the Peninsular War against Napoleon in Spain, fictionalized in the famous Sharpe's Rifles series of books by Bernard Cornwell. 'Swift and Bold: Portrait of the Royal Green Jackets' is written by insiders with first-hand knowledge of the Regiment, and contains more than 250 images in color and black and white, many never published before. This is a unique milestone publication that every Rifleman will want to own, and a fascinating insight into open-order tactics and strategy for every military history enthusiast." -- with a bonus offer-- .
