<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The epic story of the forgotten black regiments of the regular British Army<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In three global conflicts and countless colonial campaigns, tens of thousands of black West Indian soldiers fought and died for Britain, first as slaves and then as volunteers. These all but forgotten regiments were unique because they were part of the British Army rather than colonial formations. All were stepchild units, despised by an army loath to number black soldiers in its ranks, and yet unable to do without them; their courage, endurance and loyalty were repaid with bigotry and abuse. This is a saga of war, bondage, hardship, mutiny, forlorn outposts and remarkable fortitude.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Barry Renfrew </b>is a military historian and foreign correspondent who has covered wars and unrest in Afghanistan, Russia, Africa and elsewhere. Front line experience in Chechnya and other conflict zones has helped him understand what soldiers through the ages have faced on the battlefield. He has previously written <i>Wings of Empire</i> for The History Press.
