Synopsis
An unrivalled source of information on the uniforms, insignia and appearance of the world's fighting men of past and present. The Men-at-Arms titles cover subjects as diverse as the Imperial Roman army, the Napoleonic wars and German airborne troops in a popular 48-page format including some 40 photographs and diagrams, and eight full-colour plates., This title looks at Napoleon's Middle and Young Guard infantry. The seniority of Guard infantry was only established definitely in 1812 by the Guard's chief of personnel, Courtois. The title 'Young Guard' was assigned to the newly-raised regiments in 1809, but the term 'Middle Guard' came into use about 1811. From the beginning the newer guard regiments were committed to action first, the Old Guard, as Napoleon wrote, 'being so precious, one fears to expose them'; thus the Fusiliers-Chasseurs distinguished themselves at Hilsberg whilst the rest of the Guard was kept in reserve. In 1808 the Fusiliers went to Spain, serving at the Madrid rising, Medina and Guadalajara. Philip Haythornwaite examines these troops in a detailed text backed by numerous illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Bryan Fosten.

- f***n (378)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived in even better condition than described- just about mint, and with a cellophane protective cover, which saved me time from applying one myself. All 3 of the essays in the volume were interesting, ie what I was looking for in terms of informational value regarding the New Deal; it was a real fortunate find. The item arrived promptly, was well (not overly) packaged, and the transaction was smooth and easy. I’d work with this seller again, thanks!Hardcover Essays on the New Deal (#176549129673)
