During the Napoleonic era; Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry; forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies. This stemmed partly from their service against the Turks; who had huge numbers of troops; and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 185 examines the organisation; tactics and uniforms of the Russian cavalry during this dynamic and turbulent period; covering Cuirassiers; Dragoons; Hussars; Uhlans; Mounted Jägers and the Lifeguard; as well as the Opolchenie militia and Cossacks.

A fantastic publication !!!!!By Pilar CannizzaroFor any modern architecture enthusiast; or Palm Spring lover; or a fan of great photography; or all; this is the book to purchase. What a magnificent collection of photos; both in color and Black and White. The most wonderful Palm Springs houses and their lavish landscapes are all covered in this tome; leaving you with a hankering desire to buy your own mid-century mod home in the Desert and move there for good. Do yourself a big favor and Just Buy It !!!!!Also; if after reading this one; you want to see more of Julius Shulman's gorgeous work; get yourself his "Modernism Revisited" masterpiece; which you will love as much as his Palm Springs book reviewed here.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
