This work contains an unprecedented wealth of over 550 full-colour
illustrations, including specially commissioned uniforms, battle
plans and campaign maps. It is an expert guide to the weapons,
equipment, deployment, tactics and motivation of the national
forces of the day, as well as fascinating detail of the day-to-day
life of a Napoleonic soldier. It is an unrivalled reference to the
insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the
period. The book's main focus is the soldiers who fought the
historic battles of the day, and the uniforms they wore. It was in
this age of war that military uniforms flourished, with an
astonishing array of flamboyance, colour and intricate detail. The
cut and colour of uniforms were used for identification from afar
by the generals directing battles from strategic viewpoints, but at
this point in time were also given an extraordinary level of detail
in facings, laces and buttons, which carried never-ending intricate
differences to denote regiment, rank or division. With over 550
specially commissioned and expert colour artworks, each regiment is
vividly portrayed here in all their glory.All the major nations
involved in the conflict, France, Britain, Austria, Prussia and
Russia, are covered in detail, and there is a section on the
uniforms and contributions of the smaller forces, including those
from America, Spain, Italy and Saxony.
