Uniformi della Rivoluzione Americana, John Mollo, Malcolm McGregor This newest volume in the Macmillan Color Series makes a timely appearance for the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence of 1776. In a series of 220 magnificent full-color illustrations, it covers the principal army e naval uniforms dell’armata americana, britannica, tedesca, e francese which took part in the rivoluzione americana, ed includes several plates of the Indian dress of the period. They provide a unique e colorful survey of one of the great epochs of military history.

Le uniformi delle truppe britanniche, tedesche, e francesi conform, on the whole, to regulations. Gli americani, both rivoluzionari e loyalists, neglected to record for posterity the details of their military dress, but the author ed artist have supplied these from various reliable sources – portraits, lists of equipaggiamento issued to the Continental Army, advertisements for deserters in contemporary American newspapers, e the latest research data on the subject - e deliberately stylized their soldatini to retain the flavor of the period. In addition, early paintings, drawings, e prints have been used whereever possible. The uniforms are primarily arranged by campaigns, con plates giving details of flags, head-dress, ed armi.

John Mollo, is a well-known expert on military dress ed an author ed illustrator of several books on the subject. He has also supervised the uniforms for such films as The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Adventures of Gerard, Nicholas ed Alexandria, Bequest to the Nation, e Stanley Kubrick’s version of Thackeray’s Barry Lyndon

Malcolm McGregor’s illustrations for Macmillan’s Uniformi d’Armate della Seconda Guerra Mondiale have elicited high praise, ed in his latest volume he has again based many of his paintings on actual people of the period.
