Page "Adrian Goldsworthy" Paragraph 4

In 2010 Goldsworthy, began writing a series of military novels-based not in Roman times but in the Napoleonic era and concentrating on Wellington's redcoat army, another period which he has extensively researched and on which little historical fiction has ever been written.

His first novel, " True Soldier Gentlemen ", was published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 2011 and was followed by " Beat the Drums Slowly " and " Send Me Safely Back Again ".

The titles of each of his novels are all taken from the lyrics of popular military songs of the period.

Goldsworthy, confesses that these books are in the genre of novels he himself likes to read.
