Austria was one of the five major players of the Napoleonic Wars.
In early 19th century, the Austrian army
(Kaiserliche-KoeniglicheHeer) was the third largest and one of the
best-trained armies in the world.The individual regimentsperformed
well and were considered solid. However, hampered by the inherent
conservatism of the hierarchy, the Austrians had to face the most
modern army in Europe. Despite the many defeats suffered, the
Austrian soldiers performed with discipline and played a central
role in the coalitions against France, from the campaigns in 1790s,
to the Austerlitz campaign of 1805, the closely-balanced battles of
1809, and the final victorious campaigns of 1813-1814. Austrian
cavalry, in particular, was considered one of the best in Europe by
allies as well as enemies. For the first time, this topic is
introduced starting from the first campaign against France. The
book includesthe regimental histories of each unit after the
original sources, unpublished iconography, and is completed by
detailed illustrations depicting uniforms and equipment of the
mounted 'kaiserlich' white coats.
