Today, my book Infantry in Battle, 1733-1783, released. Why should you care? It changes the story of 18th century battles by telling the experiences of enlisted and NCOs, not just the officers. Battle looks different when you are enlisted. A thread for the infantrymen. 1/20

A firepower Friday thread. One of the most persistent and inaccurate views of this period is that infantry firefights occurred at extremely close range: 50 yards or less. TL;DR, firefights often occurred at longer range, between 100-300 yards. Please, tell your friends. 1/25
English Fanmaker, 1746: "So what do you think that the ladies want this year? A floral pattern? Chinoiserie?" English Ladies: "Give me Jacobites begging for their lives after Culloden." Fanmaker:😬😬 🫡
As black friday nears, this is a reminder that the man in your life who is obsessed with military history would love my book as a present. Especially if he just watched that new Ken Burns American Revolution documentary.
