In this Jane Austen-meets-Bernard Cornwell novel, Goldsworthy brilliantly evokes the reality of life - and death - in the early 19th century British ArmyDAILY MAILTake a distinguished historian, a long and bloody war against an apparently invincible enemy, and you have a good recipe for what promises to be a classic seriesGOOD BOOK GUIDE
A brilliant new Napoleonic military fiction series from one of the UK's brightest young historians.The year is 1808, and Hamish Williams is a 'gentlemen volunteer' in the 106th regiment of foot, a man serving with the ranks but living with the officers, and uncomfortable in both worlds: looked down on by those with the money or influence to buy their rank, and distrusted by the common soldiers who know he is not one of them. Combining the vivid detail of a master historian with the engaging characters and pulsating action of a natural storyteller, TRUE SOLDIER GENTLEMAN is the first volume in what promises to be a classic series.. But Williams is determined to prove by deeds alone that he is a man worthy of advancement, and when the 106th embarks for Portugal to begin what will become known as the Peninsula War against Napoleon, he knows his chance of glory is at hand. Soon he is receiving a sharp lesson in the realities of war, as the 106th undergoes a bloody baptism at the hands of the French - and he realises that his single-minded devotion to honour may not, after all, be the quickest route to promotion

I was hoping for more period detail and insightful exposition of how differently Napoleon fought and the tactics that made him so successful. while there was some trappings that gave a flavor of the time nothing stood out as noteworthy that i expected from a leading historian. very readable but not memorable.. Bob Jarvis said Extremely good military history.. This book has everything I look for in the genre of military history; realistic and gritty action sequences, well fleshed out characters make me want to follow their trials and tribulations to the bitter end, together with an extremely well researched, accurate and detailed historical setting.Anyone writing this genre is likely to be measured against the master; Bernard Cornwell; much like most new bands will invariably be compared with Coldplay.
