Going to War in Victorian Times (Armies of the Past)

Armies of the Past looks at how soldiers, sailors and airmen lived and fought in significant historical time periods, from Ancient Egypt to World War II. Packed with information, the series focuses on the social history of warfare, including recruiting, drilling, camp life and caring for the wounded as well as armour, weapons, forts and fortifications and battle tactics. Through realistic artwork and lively fact-filled text, each title in Armies of the Past is a fascinating demonstration of how people were moulded into efficient fighting forces and how they lived and worked together.
