“I’m not sure how many of these in-depth looks at the Organization, Uniforms & Equipment of various armies that Esposito has written, but the unit examinations remain the same high quality in this volume… the information within is golden. Enjoyed it."

"To my mind this is an important book for anyone with an interest in the Anglo-Zulu war and certainly a must for the serious student of military history. I thoroughly enjoyed the book as it is written in an easy, flowing style which grips the reader's attention immediately. The prologue by Dr. David Payne is especially worth a read."
Excellent. 5/5

As the only branch of the British Army to rely on horses, the cavalry possessed a particular operational flexibility and prestige, which Mileham captures well throughout.. Read more
