Conan-Doyle based his famous Brigadier Gerard on Marbot and that fictional cavalryman's character shines through on these pages. Marbot's expansive recollections begin here as a young Hussar with a 'painted' moustache and sweeps the reader through the very pages of history, encounters with Napoleon and graphically related battlefield experiences - engagingly told by a soldier with a 'good stock of courage' - if he says so himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Baptiste de Marbot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846770580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846770586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonaur Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Jean Baptiste de Marbot","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125467181311,"sku":"9781846770586","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09a66afa-1b37-4fdd-931b-54a26798de48.jpg?v=1687442793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-young-hussar-volume-jean-baptiste-de-marbot-9781846770586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
