From Lexington Green in 1775 to Yorktown in 1781, one British regiment marched thousands of miles and fought a dozen battles to uphold the king's rule in the American colonies: the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Their story, and that of all the soldiers England sent across the Atlantic, is one of the few untold sagas of the American Revolution, and it sheds a new light on the war itself, while offering surprising, at times unsettling, insights into the way war was conducted on both sides. Drawing on a wealth of previously unused primary accounts, and with narrative flair, Mark Urban reveals the inner life of the 23rd Regiment, the Fusiliers.
