About this product
Product Information
Histories of the Seven Years War or French and Indian War tend to concentrate on the larger engagements. In the European theater, the attention goes to Rossbach and Leuthen (1757) or Minden (1759). By the same token, in the North American theater, historians tend to dedicate the most time to engagements such as the Battle of the Monongahela (1755), the attack on Fort Carillon (1758), later renamed Ticonderoga, or the battle on the Plains of Abraham (1759). One consequence of this focus on the larger engagements has been a general tendency to overlook the more constant war of raids, ambushes and scouting that pervaded in both theaters, what contemporaries referred to as the petite guerre. Light Troops in the Seven Years War fills this gap by examining not only the conduct of these smaller engagements but also their operational and strategic significance. It also draws parallels between the theaters. The work surveys the development of light troops on both continents over the course of the eighteenth century. It provides examples of these troops in action, such as the ambushes at Gundersdorf and Domstadtl (1758) in Europe. The raid constituted a relatively small attack but one that had major consequences. In the North American theater, the raid on Fort Bull in 1756 is examined, an often-overlooked engagement, but one with a significant impact, nonetheless. The book likewise highlights the careers of various practitioners, recognized by contemporaries, as masters at the conduct of irregular warfare. These figures include Johann Ewald, Andreas Graf Hadik von Futak, Simon-Claude Grassin de Glatigny, Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry, Graf Nikolas von Luckner, Johann von Monkewitz and Robert Rogers.
