A comprehensive reference work on the organisation of the French cavalry on the Iberian theatre of war from 1807 to 1814. 250 tables in combination with the detailed text show practically all organisational changes within the French cavalry troops. The reader can find out how the French cavalry was deployed, where the individual regiments and brigades were stationed, who commanded them, which operations they took part in and what losses they suffered. Unit departures and arrivals are also listed and their effects on French operations in this theatre are analysed. In addition, the book offers 80 short biographies of French cavalry generals who spent part of their service on the Iberian Peninsula. Over 80 cavalry regiments are presented with information on their operational history, composition, the various commanders and troop strength.
