After completing his education with the Royal Marines, Neil Cogswell joined the Research Department of ICI plc, for whom he worked for more than 30 years - making contributions in the fields of Polymer Rheology and Thermoplastic Composite Materials. Following retirement, Neil had the opportunity to indulge his interest in history – especially the military history of the 18th century. Translating the campaign journals of Horace St Paul – the first volume of which, Lobositz to Leuthen, was published in hardback by Helion & Company in 2017 – was supplemented by having the privilege of visiting the battlefields and other relevant sites in Austria, Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia in the company of historian Christopher Duffy. Neil has also collaborated in the preparation of an English-language edition of the monumental study by Artur Brabant of the Army of the Empire in the Seven Years War for LTR-Verlag.
This incredible account of the years 1758 to 1760 introduces a
number of minor characters who you won't find in general histories
of the war, but who nevertheless played a major part in the
conflict.
*Books Monthly*
One of the most interesting features of this book is the contrast
between the armies of this period and those of the Revolutionary
Wars, only 35 years in the future...The result is a valuable
picture of the nature of warfare in this pivotal conflict.
*History of War*
Given the scarcity of accessible first hand source material in
English, and the extent to which accounts are interwoven, this is
the best Seven Years War buy of the decade so far from a wargames
perspective…
