The period of 180015 covers some of the most glorious moments in the military history of Great Britain, during which the British Army fought against Napoleon Bonaparte and his newly established French Empire around the globe.

At the beginning of the 19th century, British military forces were still influenced by outdated tactical models. During the Napoleonic Wars, however, under the command of a new generation of leaders and in the face of a new enemy, the military began to evolve. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, was the greatest of these officers and one of the few European generals who had the personal capabilities to combat Napoleon in an effective way.

It was he who 'forged' the new British Army, fighting against the French in the Iberian Peninsula and enabling British and Coalition troops to defeat Napoleon on the Belgian fields of Waterloo. Featuring stunning colour photos created specifically for this work by several re-enactment groups, as well as contemporary uniform plates, this work covers the history, organisation and equipment of the British Army during 180015.
