Although this encyclopedia also covers the political and military events of the Napoleonic Wars, the focus is on the men who fought the battles and their uniforms. Over 550 specially produced colour illustrations show the uniforms, armaments and equipment of the cuirassiers, dragoons, hussars, cossacks, hunters, fusiliers, grenadiers and sappers of all the main powers involved in the conflict (France, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia). To a lesser extent, the troops of Saxony, the USA, Spain and Italy are also covered. Beyond the uniform subject matter, the organisation, tactics and the experiences of the soldiers are also covered.
