Osgood, Richard2005
Book
Rarely does the story of those who do most of the fighting - the footsoldier - come forward. This is their book, a tale of the 'poor bloody infantry' and what we glean of their lot from prehistory through to WWI. The book compares the life of the soldier across time and cultures, and includes great battles of medieval Europe.
