Previous Polish experience from the war against Ottoman Turks in
1672-1676 made their contribution vital for coalition war effort in
1683. No surprise then, that Sobieski was chosen as commander of
joint forces and that Poles deployed on ancient place of honour in
army battle order - on the right wing. Many Polish researchers,
like Jan Wimmer, Leszek Podhorodecki or Zdzislaw Zygulski Junior
(to name just few), wrote extensively about the topic,
unfortunately their works are not available in English. In this
volume author attempts to present to English-speaking readers
Polish point of view on the battle and the role of Polish army in
the conflict. There are detailed information about organisation and
strength of the army that Jan III led to Vienna: structure, weapons
and equipment of the units, even on the company level. All
formations, from winged hussars to artillery, are covered. Command
staff - from King to high ranking officers - will be presented as
well. Book won't focus solely on relief of Vienna though. Remaining
actions of the 1683's campaign are described as well, with both
battles of Parkany and arrival of Lithuanian army, Polish and
Cossack actions in Podolia and Moldavia, that were always in shadow
of main events of 1683; finally organisation and military actions
of troops under command of Hieronim Augustyn Lubomirski, raised as
Imperial auxiliary division in Poland. Book is based on many
primary and secondary sources, including diaries, letters and
surviving muster rolls of the units and whole army. Many of them
were not previously available in English, so they will provides
interesting insight into 17th century view of the army and
campaign.
