Napoleonic Wars - Waterloo Uniforms - Wellington Army Uniforms

Napoleon's Grande Armee
Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars

Napoleon's Army 1807-1814,
As Depicted in the Prints of Aaron Martinet
by Aaron Martinet, Guy C., Jr. Dempsey
Hardcover (1997)

Outstanding. Little needs to be said. If this book were only a reproduction of these plates, it would be a bargain, but Dempsey's commentary provides a great deal of insight placing the plates in context and identifying anomalies and commonalities. I can only add that I have no idea how a set of contemporary plates will illustrate the professional or mercenary aspects of the army!?

Swords Around a Throne:
Napoleon's Grande Armee
by John Robert Elting
Paperback (1997)

Military professional and historian John R. Elting paints an exciting, detailed picture of the magnificent human fighting force, Napoleon's Grande Armee. Colorfully details every facet of life in Napoleon's army including rations, pay, mud and disease, mobile hospitals, loot, camp followers, and more.
6-Star Book! This book is excellent and so much fun to read! The amount of information is incredible, with many funny things about the French, Russians, Poles, Britons, and many others. This is The Number One book of all times on this subject. Long Live Emperor Elting!
Best book on the subject. Elting does with this book a mammoth task: he provides all kind of details about the Grande Armee, from its inception in the Ancien Regime armies, to its finale at Waterloo.

	Uniforms of Waterloo: 16-18 June 1815 by Philip Haythornthwaite, Jack Cassin-Scott, Michael Chappell Paperback (1997)
	Uniforms of the French Revolutionary Wars 1789-1802 by Philip Haythornthwaite, Christopher Warner Paperback (1998)

A Very Worthwhile Addition to a Napoleonic Library. This book covers the uniforms as they transitioned from Frederican to the better-known Napoleonic Glory Years. These are the soldiers that forged Gen. Bonaparte's reputation in Northern Italy. Some obscure entries, too, for those miniature collectors looking, say, for a dromedary corps! Good buy!!
