Synopsis

THIS IS THE POCKET-SIZE VERSION of Ben Brown's popular "Uniforms of the American Revolution" and at 8 x 6 inches it will indeed fit into most raincoat and overcoat pockets. A perfect reference for on-site verification of uniforms and equipment at museums, re-enactments and such events where you don't really want your electronic version and you don't have carrying space for your full-size version of the book (yes, both alternative formats are also avilable)., also available in a larger-format desktop reference and an electronic version are forthcoming.After decades of building Revolutionary-period models, Ben Brown finally wrote the book that he had wished he had available to him all along: a concise compendium of the organizations, uniforms, accoutrements and equipment of all the forces involved in the American Revolution (including the Spanish, who knew?) It also contains an extensive bibliography. Drawn from a wide range of sources, this is the must-have reference for the serious collector, hobbyist, re-enactor, historical interpreters or modeler who values the correct answer to questions such as the color and type of facings worn by a particular unit at a particular time.For those just getting started on learning about the events of the period, the book also provides highly-readable summaries of the key phases of the war, with very useful maps, seen through the lens of regular shifts in units and equipment.Benjamin N. Brown served in the Korean War and then enjoyed a varied and fascinating career as an international businessman and diplomat in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. He lives in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, almost within walking distance of the Brandywine battlefield. He is also the author of Imperial Colours, the ultimate cross-reference in the terminology of the ornate uniforms of the British, French and German military uniforms of the 1800s.
