From the top-selling author on the subject; Philip Haythornthwaite; comes the ultimate authoritative work on the weapons and equipment of the Napoleonic wars. Infantry and cavalry weapons and tactics; artillery and engineers; staff and supplies; uniforms and equipment; and living conditions are brought to life with startlingly vivid period reproductions. Detailed battle plans explain infantry formations; troop deployments; and skirmishes. Among the breathtaking images included: British squares resisting the French cavalry at Waterloo and the raising of the siege of Thionville; with the French infantry routing the Hungarians. British drill exercises and troop formations are outlined in full. Unsurpassed as the basic illustrated guider; this is ideal for historians; modelers; wargamers; and reenactors.
