A propos de cet article

Hardback. First Edition. Wellington's Army. Piece of inside paper front cover missing. This book is not just one more biography of Wellington or a history of his campaigns; indeed, far from it - military operations are only cited to illustrate tactics, organisation and the use of weapons. Far more usefully, this book analyses in minute and penetrating detail the various units of this force, describing by arms, services and staffs the army which drove Napoleon's legions out of the Peninsula and routed the Imperial Guard at Waterloo. After taking each section of the army in turn - infanret, cavalry, artillery, engineers, auxiliaries, command and staff, supply and transport, medical - and itemising their function and the improvements brought about by Moore and Welloington, the author takes one unit, the famous Light Division, and in its operation around the Coa River depicts the various arms working in unison. Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps, this book, a companion to Napoleon's Army, is a learned and highly documented work that will provide a fund of information for modeller, war gamer and military historians alike. Illustrated. 143 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
