Book Description
This biography tells the story of Colin Campbell, First Baron Clyde (1792-1863). Born in Glasgow, Scotland, and originally trained as a tailor, Campbell went on to have a distinguished military career, serving in the Peninsular War, the Crimean War, and the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Despite being criticized for his cautious tactics at the Battle of Balaclava, he was later hailed as a hero for his leadership during the Siege of Lucknow. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life and times of a key figure in British military history.

Book Description
From humble Glasgow beginnings, Colin Campbell rose to become Scotland’s finest general and a favourite of Queen Victoria. In his fifty-year career he fought through the Peninsula, the Crimea, China and India, and still found time to contain a slave revolt, a Chartist revolution and Ireland’s Tithe War. Through a combination of personal courage, compassionate leadership and genius for military strategy he became an idol for the men who served under him. This undisputed hero, whose memory has grown faint beside celebrated warriors of the Victorian age, was a soldier ahead of his time – the first working-class field marshal, with strong humanitarian leanings and an instinct for harnessing the power of the press. In the first major biography of Campbell since 1880 his career is radically reinterpreted and the life of this very private man is revealed. 'Victoria's Scottish Lion' was shortlisted for The Society for Army Historical Research's 2015 Templar Prize.
