Inhaltsangabe

One of the most popular military books of all time receives a well-deserved new edition for readers young and old. The hero is an ordinary shepherd, a teenager from a small village, who joined the British army in 1802 and fought in the Napoleonic Wars. Rifleman Harris was a natural storyteller with a remarkable tale, and his harrowing escapes from capture and death are all told in this unique view of a soldier’s life.
