    Britain's Forgotten Campaign: Graham and the Netherlands

    In 1813 and 1814, the British army was enjoying an unremitting period of success, or was it? Why were the British so interested in going back to the Netherlands after the disasterous expeditions of recent memory? Andrew Bamford returns to the show to talk about the British expedition to the Low Countries in 1813 and 14. We discussed the misconceptions, the characters at the heart of the story and all the action in a double bill on the campaign that is so often pushed the sidelines in favour of the more glamorous events of Wellington success in the Peninsular. This is Britain’s forgotten campaign: Graeme and the Netherlands.

    Light Infantry of the 18th Century

    Forget Sharpe, the Light Infantry of the 18th Century are far more interesting precisely because they weren't SAS adonises led by a mullet-wearing Yorkshireman.  Andrew Dorman, Alex Burns and Robbie MacNiven return in the latest instalment of our 18th Century way of war series, to talk about Light Infantry.

    Napoleonic Democracy: Myth and Reality

    Was Napoleon a democrat?
