Louis XV acted to fulfill a request of King Fredrik I of Sweden and to demonstrate his satisfaction with the great value shown by the regiment in battle. This intriguing book traces the history of this storied regiment throughout its service, including during the American War of Independence, and up to the time of the French Revolution of 1789.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeil Kent is editor in chief of the Journal of Intelligence and Cyber Security, Associate Professor of the Rennes School of Business (Grande École de France), and formerly Associate at the Scott Polar Research Institute and Fellow of the Cyber Documentation Project, both at the University of Cambridge.
