Review Quotes

...Richard Feltoe's concise but comprehensive series...The Tide of War takes readers to the first half of 1814 and thus towards the war's culmination...As always, there are vital charts and maps to indicate battalion movements, and a clear narrative of events and circumstances for a very complicated stage of the war.

[Feltoe] has brought together a wealth of information in the form of first hand descriptions, contemporary sketches and battlefield maps of a truly unnecessary war, one we didn't start. Richard's books will be the perfect resource material for the historians of the future.
