The book "Redcoats to Tommies" by John H. G. R. Hill offers a comprehensive overview of the experience of British soldiers throughout the 18th century, from the early years of the Industrial Revolution to the end of World War I. The book provides a detailed account of the transformation of the British army during this period, highlighting the significant changes that took place in its organization, tactics, and technology. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including official records, memoirs, and diaries, to provide a nuanced understanding of the experiences of ordinary soldiers and officers. The book begins with an examination of the British army during the American War of Independence, where the author explores how the army's organizational structure, tactics, and weapons were shaped by the demands of modern warfare. The author then delves into the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the army, discussing how technological advancements such as the development of firearms, artillery, and transportation transformed the way wars were fought. He also looks at how these developments affected the lives of soldiers, both on and off the battlefield. One of the most significant aspects of the book is the discussion of the changing nature of warfare during this period. The author notes that the traditional view of the British army as a disciplined and professional force was challenged by the chaos and destruction of modern warfare. He argues that the experience of soldiers during this period was marked by the constant evolution of new technologies and tactics, which often left them feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned.
