Description
The Prussian Army of Frederick the Great, 1740-1786 History, Organization and Uniforms by Gabriele Esposito is a detailed exploration of the military prowess and structure of the Prussian Army during the 18th century. The book delves into the organization, uniforms, and equipment of the various branches of service, including infantry, cavalry, and technical corps, as well as the mercenary 'freikorps' and Frederick's German allies. The Prussian Army's discipline, training, and tactics are highlighted, particularly in the infantry, which formed the backbone of Frederick's forces. The book also provides insight into the cavalry, artillery, pioneers, and other lesser-known units that contributed to the army's success. Lavishly illustrated with colour plates, this comprehensive study offers a unique perspective on one of Europe's most feared and efficient military forces. Gabriele Esposito's work provides a thorough examination of the Prussian Army's history, organization, and uniforms, making it an essential resource for historians and military enthusiasts alike.
