Uniformi delle Guerre Napoleoniche in Colour 1796–1814

Philip Haythornthwaite, Jack Cassin-Scott

The Guerre Napoleoniche were the dominating economic e political event nell’Europa in the early nineteenth secolo, e had far-reaching consequences. The great battles of this period – Marengo, Hohenlinden, Austerlitz, Jena, Corunna, e those of the Russian Campaign – are handsomely evoked in the pages of this book.

For the armies involved, these battles presented the ideal opportunity of expressing their national pride in some of the most splendid e colourful uniforms which, for sheer panache ed elaborate decoration, have never been equalled.

This book illustrates e describes the uniforms of more than fifteen European armies in the 80 pages of magnificent full-colour plates by Jack Cassin-Scott. John Fabb, whose family have supplied ceremonial regalia ed accoutrements to the forze armate dell’Europa for over a secolo, has provided references for the illustrations which cover the main features of every uniform. Detailed drawings of arms, headgear, saddlery ed other accessories in use during the period are also included. There is a comprehensive text by Philip J. Haythornthwaite, which gives important data on the history e dress of every regiment; e there is an Historical Introduction to the conflict.

Uniformi delle Guerre Napoleoniche is the perfect guide for anyone who is interested in the study o the construction of model soldiers of this particular period, ed a special feature is an Appendix on the Order of Battle of the Grande Armée, 1812.
