Throughout history the English have been a warlike lot. Often we fight among ourselves - there have been a good few civil wares - and when we were not slaughtering each other we practised on our neighbours the Scots the Irish the French . . . When that got too easy we set off around the world to find other people to fight. This was usually done with a hubris that invited some ludicrous pratfall. · Do you know which crazy field marshal told the Duke of Wellington that he had been made pregnant with an elephant by a French grenadier? · Or which cowardly general hid behind a tree when his troops walked straight into a Spanish ambush? · Or which regiment drank 7217 gallons of liquor between them? In The Beastly Battles of Old England Nigel Cawthorne takes us on a darkly humorous journey through some of our ill-advised military actions. From the war over a severed ear to a general seeking out his rival's mistresses to even the score it is a miscellany of insufferable arrogance reckless gallantry stunning stupidity massive misjudgements and general beastliness.
