Interesting Book

I was really interested in the evolution from the whole pike and shot in the 1600s to the line infantry in the 1700s, so I thought this was a good book so see. Well it wasn't exactly what I wanted it was really interesting. My only complaint is that some of the plates descriptions didn't match up the pictures. The horse grenadier is shown wearing a back & breast plate and a helmet while the description is completely different. Another plate shows a horsemen with no armor and description talks about how the troops were armored. Aside from this most of the book is good and Im sure it was not all that easy to find information on the British army at this time.
