Haythornthwaite has assembled an impressive collection of highly readable; popular historical accounts on history's greatest soldiers; Napoleon Bonaparte.This work features 80 color plates; usually with two soldiers depicted per plate; sometimes three; supported by sufficient text; to show what the soldiers were wearing at Waterloo. Its emphasis is on what they actually wore as opposed to what the regulations prescribed they wear. Originally published in 1974; this new edition features the same color plates and text; but the bibliography has been expanded to include additional significant works that have since appeared. An introductory history of the Battle of Waterloo; a short section on flags; and the orders of battle for the combatants round out this work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Painting napoleonicsBy hurricane2Good book with some excellent colour plates.

An usefull guide for the Napoleonic miniatures painter.By A CustomerAn excellent reconstruction of the real Waterloo campaign suites; accomplished by well done figures. All regiments are included; with initial campaign orders battle. The introductory historical reconstruction of the Campaign has enriched with minor events; giving a less tedious version to the readers. The lack of an Uniform Glossary make harder to the novice to understand the several uniform and equipment features. If your hobby is to paint Napoleonic's wars miniatures; you *must* take it.
