A Close Run Things: Introducing Matthew Hervey of the Light Dragoons

BANTAM BOOKS

This is not just a story of an officer in the Duke of Wellington's army: it is the story of a regiment - that peculiarly British institution which John Keegan, the most percipient historian and observer of all things military, has described as "an accidental act of genius". Every regiment was - still is - different, and revelled in that difference. The difference was not just in the people but in the regiment's history and traditions - the received notions of how things should be done, the "esprit", the spirit.

All looks set fair for Major Matthew Hervey: news of a handsome legacy should allow him to purchase command of his beloved regiment, the 6th Light Dragoons. He is resolved to marry, and rather to his surprise, the object of his affections-the widow of the late Sir Ivo Lankester-has readily consented. But he has reckoned without the opportunism of a fellow officer with ready cash to hand.
