This book illustrates and describes the uniforms of more than fifteen European armies in 80 pages of magnificent full-colour plates by Jack Cassin-Scott. John Fabb, whose family supplied ceremonial regalia and accoutrements to the armies of Europe for over a century, has provided references for illustrations which cover the main feature of every uniform. Detailed drawings of arms, headgear, saddlery and other accessories in use during the period are also included. There is also a comprehensive text by Philip J Haythornthwaite, which gives important data on the history and dress of every regimental and there is an historical introduction to the conflict.
Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars is the perfect guide for anyone who is interested in the study or the construction of model soldiers of this popular period, and a special feature is an appendix on the Order of Battle of the Grand Armee, 1812.
