Kurzbeschreibung
In the battles of Jena and Auerstädt, where the Prussians were crushed by Napoleon, the Saxons excelled beyond comparison. Amidst the defeat and confusion, they withdrew in full control, with regular pace and band playing, stopping to engage whenever the enemy grew too close. Recognising the martial value of such troops, Napoleon swiftly took steps to assure a military alliance. In this absorbing addition to the Men-at-Arms series, Otto von Pivka explores the organisation, campaign history and uniforms of Napoleon's formidable Saxon allies, with numerous illustrations and eight superb full page colour plates by Richard Hook.

He is a prolific author, who has contributed many titles to the Men-at-Arms series on the armies and forces of the Napoleonic Wars. A former major in the British Army, he is now retired, but continues to write books on this key period.

Format:Taschenbuch
This volume focuses on the military uniforms of Napoleon's Bavarian allies from roughly 1792 through 1815. It provides full details of the Bavarian military units of battle, and gives a full and chronological account of the standards & insignias, uniforms of the military rank and file along with their officers, as well as looking at the list of the units, their weapons and equipment as well as a breakdown of units by regiment and and in the case of cavalry - squadrons - all in an easy to follow style that keeps the reader both engaged and educated in equal portions.
Otto von Pivka has furnished his readers with a wealth of information on this topic that applies to all manner of people with an interest, be they: historians, modelers, war-gamers or someone just looking to learn more on the subject matter.
This 40 page volume book contains eight color plates displaying seventeen uniforms of the troops of that time; beautiful illustrations with rich, robust colour. Added to this are about a dozen black and white illustrations from the time, and black and white photographs of surviving buckles, hats, shako plates and various other kit that are preserved today.
The material is well researched, and well written, making it easy to follow so much information easily and enjoyably. Whether you are looking for information to aide you in painting your miniature models, assist you in assembling your recreation uniform, or just reading it for the enjoyment, this book can and will satisfy all areas of interest.
I originally purchased this book to assist me with painting my Napoleonic miniatures - what I got out of this was so much more!

Good Buy
6. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I found this book to be very informative, with reasonably good pictures, although with the info supplied about the Oldenburg Regiment and the pictures it was displaying, I would have preferred to have had a little bit more detail. Over-all this still is a good buy for anybody studying France's allies or for anybody needing info for painting figures as I do.
