Description
Armies of the Napoleonic Era provides a comprehensive overview of the tactics, organisation, uniforms, equipment, weapons, and actions of the standing armies during the Napoleonic era, spanning from 1792 to 1815. Drawing from a wide range of primary sources, including museum archives, regimental histories, and private diaries, Digby Smith presents a detailed and authoritative account of the armies of Europe during this period. The book covers the technical data of artillery, cavalry, and infantry, including uniform development and regimental history, as well as a brief summary of the campaigns and actions in which each nation was involved. A comprehensive appendix provides an overall summary of all battles and major clashes between 1792 and 1815. With a wide selection of illustrations and diagrams, this work is an invaluable reference for serious students of the period, modelers, and wargamers.
