This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Fortescue holds a pre-eminent place amongst British military historians, his enduring fame and legacy resting mainly on his life’s work “The History of the British Army”, issued in 20 volumes, which took him some 30 years to complete. In scope and breadth it is such that no modern scholar has attempted to cover such a large and diverse subject in its entirety; but Sir John did so and with aplomb, leading to a readable and comprehensive study. This fourth volume covers the period from 1789 to 1801; as the tocsins of the French Revolution rang around the European continent their effects would lead to almost unceasing warfare for the next twenty years. During the Revolutionary Wars, the British Army would mature during the campaigns of the First Coalition against France always giving a good account of themselves, but their small number meant that the course of the campaign would not lead to victory. The effectiveness of the British Army in sea-borne assaults on French possessions across the world, would lead to much success but also bitter grumbling of Britain’s coalition partners. TIMES.—"We are witnessing the birth of a military classic which is, and will be for some generations to come, without a peer in the subject to which it relates. The debt which the British Army owes to the writer of this moving chronicle of its great achievements, its grandeurs, and its miseries can only be repaid if every member of the Army endeavours to assimilate for himself, and for the profit of his country, Mr. Fortescue’s admirable and most instructive pages." A MUST READ for any military enthusiast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 4: Second Part Continued From the Fall of the Bastille to the Peace of Amiens, 1789 1801 In offering to the public this new instalment of the History of the British Army, I feel constrained to accompany it with an apology. Six years ago I expressed my hope that I should tell the whole of my story down to the year 1870 in four volumes; and now the fourth volume proves to have carried the narrative no further than to the year 1803. I know not what plea to advance in my excuse, except the sheer ignorance avowed on a famous occasion by Dr. Johnson. I can only say that, until I had dug deep into the huge mass of military manuscripts at the Record Office, I had no conception either of the tasks that were set by Pitt to the British Army nor of the vast amount of work - thankless, indeed, and unprofitable - which it did, or strove to do, during the first ten years of the war of the French Revolution. I am aware that in some quarters this excuse will avail me little. One critic, neither incompetent nor unkindly, has lamented that I have not ignored military operations altogether and confined myself strictly to an account of the Army's growth and administration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Army, Vol. 4: Part II, 1789-1801 One small body of men, however, which has been for some time withdrawn from our ken, must now be recalled to notice. It will be remembered that it was the declaration of war by Spain against Eng land that had caused Pitt to withdraw the eet from the Mediterranean, and to evacuate Corsica in the autumn of 1796. Immediately afterwards Spain, under the in uence of the French Directory, threatened Portugal with invasion in order to compel her to close her ports to the British; and Portugal appealed to England for help. Thereupon, the Govern ment decided to send at once five thousand men to Lisbon under General Charles Stuart, with instructions to place himself under the command of the Portuguese Commander-in - chief, and to act in concert with him whether for the offensive or the defensive.2 Dundas's idea appears to have been to transfer the garrison, which had lately been removed from Corsica to Elba, at once to Lisbon; but it has already been explained how, through the blunders of the War Office, the troops were kept at Porto Ferrajo until April 1797. However, in due time they arrived at Gibraltar, and after a month's delay reached the 1797. Tagus on the 213t of June, where Stuart was waiting June 21 to receive them. The British regiments, namely.
