Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, in the Peninsula, France, and the Netherlands from 1809 to 1815 - Captain J Kincaid
A passage from the book... John Kincaid, whose memoirs were one of the principal sources for the Sharpe television series, served with the green-uniformed Rifle Brigade, a unit of British skirmishers and snipers who played a key role in the battles of the Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns. In tracing the following scenes, I have chiefly drawn on the reminiscences of my military life, and endeavoured faithfully to convey to the mind of the reader the impression which they made on my own at the time of their occurrence. Should any errors, as to dates or trifling circumstances, have inadvertently crept into my narrative, I hope they will be ascribed to want of memory, rather than to any wilful ...
Kincaid
John Kincaid's memoirs are among the most important records of the Napoleonic Wars and were one of the three principal sources for the Sharpe television series. His presence at famous battles alone would not have made Kincaid's memoirs the classic they have become. This unassuming Scottish officer narrates many minor incidents, often of a humorous or embarrassing nature, which doubtless happened to many soldiers of the period but would otherwise have gone unrecorded. Kincaid awoke on the morning of Waterloo to find that his horse had wandered off, and spent much of his time before the battle trying to find it. Later in the bottle, Kincaid attempted to draw his sabre to ward off attacking French cavalrymen, only to find that the previous night's rain had rusted it fast in its scabbard. The original 1830 edition of Kincaid's memoirs is now extremely rare, and subsequent reprints are themselves collectors' items. This new edition will be well-received by general readers, dedicated Napoleonic buffs, and the many additional Napoleonic enthusiasts created by the Sharpe series.

Approaching Democracy
Democracy cannot be taken for granted, whether at home or internationally, and eternal vigilance (along with civic intelligence) is required to protect it. Approaching Democracy provides students with a framework to analyze the structure, process, and action of US government, institutions, and social movements. It also invites comparison with other countries. This globalizing perspective gives students an understanding of issues of governance and challenges to democracy here and elsewhere. At a moment of political hyper-partisanship, economic tensions, media misinformation, hyper-partisanship, and anxieties about the future of civil rights, this is the ideal time to introduce Approaching Dem...
