Reseña del libro "The Marquess of Granby: The British Army's Great Commander of Cavalry During the Seven Years' War by Walter Evelyn Manners With a Short Biogra (en Inglés)"
Granby: An outstanding British soldier and master of horseJohn Manners was born in 1721, the eldest son of the 3rd Duke of Rutland and assisted his father in raising a Rutland militia to contribute in quelling the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Although this regiment served only as garrison troops, Manners was personally present at the Battle of Culloden. By 1758 he was a major-general and colonel of the prestigious Royal Horse Guards (Blues). The Seven Years' War was by this point being fought across the globe and Manners went to the European theatre as second in command to Sackville. By 1759 he was a Lieutenant-General. Granby proved to be an extremely competent and popular soldier. He contributed to improvements to the operations and drill of cavalry and was concerned with soldier's welfare and assistance for the wounded. Possessed of indisputable personal courage, he is particularly recognised for his prowess in the command of allied cavalry on the battlefield and especially his ability to coordinate mounted operations with horse artillery. Granby fought notably at Minden (1759), Warburg (1760), Emsdorf (1760) and at Villinghausen (1761).Today, his name endures in the many English public houses that bear his name- it is said this was because they were originally operated by his old soldiers as a consequence of his beneficence. This Leonaur edition also includes a short biography of Granby and several illustration and maps-some which were not present in earlier editions of this book.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
