### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A must read for 19th Century Military History buffs or Napoleonic War aficionados!
  

*by H***V on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020*

This decently sized book of 425 pages, not including the index, is really a compendium of Osprey Publishing titles dealing with Soldiers' uniforms, equipment, organization, and some tactics from the Napoleonic Wars. While the "donor" books to this work probably average 35 pages like most titles in Osprey's Man-of-War series, the size of this one allowed the editor, Chris McNab, to really mine the best content out of numerous smaller books. This work not only provides the best macro overview of Napoleonic Soldiers I have ever read, but from an aesthetic standpoint continues Osprey's tradition of using detailed, cited research to produce truly beautiful color plates throughout this book. As each country's forces were analyzed, the authors included a great deal of information and color graphics of key material and not just Soldier's uniforms. To my great delight, this frequently ended up being descriptions and illustrations of a belligerent's Field Artillery pieces, accoutrements, and "systems" or doctrine in modern parlance. I highly recommend this book for any serious student of 19th Military History, students of military history in general, and especially for any Napoleonic War aficionados out there. This is truly a great read that is just packed with beautiful illustrations and great information.

    Disappointing
  

*by W***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012*

This is an impressive looking book with good illustrations and reasonably detailed captions. However, the text feels like cut and paste from different sources (or books as it appears) with poor flow. Sentences are repetitive, and the ideas listed in seemingly random order, making the reading much less enjoyable than it could have been.I wanted to love the book and was expecting a great read based on the reviews but I am left disappointed. It is good to browse lightly but not a book to read in detail.
