Imperial Guardsman 1799-1815
ISBN: 9781855326620 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Napoleon's Imperial Guard was one of the most famous military formations in history. The Imperial Guard could perform ceremonial duties as well as any, but it was primarily as an elite combat formation of the army that it excelled. Although it would expand to represent a considerable portion of France's military establishment, it remained Napoleon's personal guard during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) and was accorded care and attention which set its members above the rest of the army. In this book, Philip Haythornthwaite examines their lives, organisation and privileges, paying particular...

The Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars
ISBN: 9780850457469 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During the Napoleonic era, Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry, forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies. This stemmed partly from their service against the Turks, who had huge numbers of troops, and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 185 examines the organisation, tactics and uniforms of the Russian cavalry during this dynamic and turbulent period, covering Cuirassiers, Dragoons, Hussars, Uhlans, Mounted Jagers and the Lifeguard, as well as the Opolchenie...

Borodino 1812: Napoleon’s great gamble
ISBN: 9781849086967 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The battle of Borodino was one of the greatest encounters in European history, and one of the largest and most sanguinary in the Napoleonic Wars. Following the breakdown of relations between Russia and France, Napoleon assembled a vast Grande Armee drawn from the many states within the French sphere of influence. They crossed the river Neimen and entered Russian territory in June 1812 with the aim of inflicting a sharp defeat on the Tsar's forces and bringing the Russians back into line. In a bloody battle of head-on attacks and desperate counter-attacks in the village of Borodino on 7...

British Rifleman 1797 1815
ISBN: 9781841761770 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The rifle corps of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) are among the most recognisable of all the soldiers of that era: their distinctive dark green uniforms are as familiar as some of their exploits. They have achieved considerable fame through the large numbers of memoirs written by members of the rifle corps as well as through modern fiction, most notably the Sharpe series. Apart from their reputation as a corps d'elite, the riflemen were, in their time, at the very cutting edge of military technology and tactical theory. Philip Haythornwaite here uses fascinating first...

British Light Infantry & Rifle Tactics of the Napoleonic Wars
ISBN: 9781472816061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In an age when infantry units maneuvered and fought in rigid blocks, the idea of encouraging initiative and allowing a unit to "skirmish" was regarded as revolutionary and fell out of favor in the years following the French-Indian and American Revolutionary wars. It was revived by far-sighted British and foreign-mercenary officers, who observed the way in which French Revolutionary armies deployed skirmishers to prepare the way for their assault columns. Offering a detailed analysis of tactics, this book is studded with period "battle descriptions" quoted from eye-witness accounts,...

The Austrian Army 1740-80 (2): Infantry
ISBN: 9781855324183 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) At the accession of Maria Theresa in 1740, the Austro-Hungarian army included 52 infantry regiments, of which three were Hungarian, three Netherlandish and one Italian. The remainder drew their recruits not only from the Habsburg territories, including Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia (the last being lost to Prussia in 1742), but from the autonomous states of the Holy Roman Empire and beyond. The proportion of Hungarian raised regiments was set to rise in the coming years though - indeed 'foreign' personnel comprised an important part of the military etablishment. This title, the second in a...

The Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (1): Infantry 1799-1814
ISBN: 9780850457377 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In 1795 the Russian army was as vast as the territory from which it was drawn. The College of War calculated that the regular army amounted to 541,741 men, plus 46,601 enrolled cossacks, and at least a further 100,000 irregular cavalry which could be mobilised in time of war. Inspired by the icons paraded by their priests before battle, the Russian infantry were capable of astonishing feats and total, blind obedience to orders. Philip Haythornwaite examines the organisation and uniforms of the remarkable Russian infantry troops who fought in the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815).

British Napoleonic Infantry Tactics 1792-1815
ISBN: 9781846032226 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey's study of Britain's infantry tactics used during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). The British Army's major campaigns against Napoleon were fought between 1808 and 1813 in the Peninsula (Portugal, Spain, and finally southern France), followed in 1815 by the brief but climactic Waterloo campaign. The British Army was small by continental standards, but it consistently out-fought larger French armies, never losing a major open-field action. Its cavalry and artillery were standard; but its infantry which unlike foreign armies, was entirely made up of volunteers, achieved unique results....

Gallipoli 1915: Frontal Assault on Turkey
ISBN: 9781855321113 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Gallipoli expedition of 1915, the brainchild of Winston Churchill, was designed to knock the Turkish Empire out of the First World War and open a supply route to Russia. The campaign is characterised by the military incompetence of the higher commands, particularly the Allies. However, in spite of this, Gallipoli deserves to be, and is, also remembered for the heroism and resourcefulness of both the British army and the men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. This book details the battles, hardships and eventual evacuation that these men had to go through, in this comprehensive...

Corunna 1809: Sir John Moore's Fighting Retreat
ISBN: 9781855329683 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The retreat to Corunna is one of the epic campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Late in 1808 Sir John Moore found himself virtually alone with his small British army deep inside Spain. The armies of his Spanish allies had been overwhelmed and he faced a victorious French force under the Emperor Napoleon. He had little option but to order a retreat to the port of Corunna. This became the most arduous of trials with armies traversing mountainous terrain over appalling roads in the depths of winter. Somehow Moore held his outnumbered, exhausted men together as they struggled to reach...

Frederick the Great's Army (2): Infantry
ISBN: 9781855321601 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Throughout the wars undertaken by Frederick the Great, probably his greatest resource was his infantry. It is a mark of the king's determination that despite wars which almost destroyed both Prussia and its army (such as the Seven Years' War), he was able to maintain its numbers even if the quality declined as the attritional campaigns took their toll. Philip Haythornthwaite examines the uniforms, tactics and organisation of Frederick's infantry in detail a fighting force that contested battles such as Mollwitz, Hohenfriedberg, Kesselsdorf, Liegnitz, Burkersdorf and the siege of Prague."

Napoleonic Light Cavalry Tactics
ISBN: 9781780961026 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During the Napoleonic Wars, all the major combatants fielded large numbers of light cavalry as Hussars, Dragoons, Chasseurs, Lancers, or even Cossacks. Ridley Scott's 1977 feature film debut The Duelists portrayed French Hussars. Light cavalry provided nimble, fast-moving regiments that performed a variety of vital roles, from reconnaissance and keeping contact with the enemy during the movement of armies, to raiding, skirmishing, and the pursuit to destruction of beaten enemies. In practice, light cavalry were often also employed for battlefield charges alongside the heavy...

The Alamo and the War of Texan Independence 1835-36
ISBN: 9780850456844 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In 1823 Texas was opened to American settlement; over the next 12 years thousands took advantage of the opportunity. During this time the corrupt Santa Anna rose to power. A dishonest and ruthless politician, thief, compulsive gambler, opium addict and liar, he nevetheless gained a measure of popular support and set about destroying federalism. Conflict with the American settlers ('Texians') became inevitable, a conflict which included the legendary Battle of the Alamo. Philip Haythornwaite covers the story of the War of Texan Independence (1835-1936)in a volume backed by a wealth of...

Napoleonic Heavy Cavalry & Dragoon Tactics
ISBN: 9781849087100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During the Napoleonic Wars the supreme battlefield shock weapon was the heavy cavalry - the French cuirassiers, and their British, Austrian, Prussian and Russian counterparts. Big men mounted on big horses, the heavy cavalry were armed with swords nearly a metre long, used for slashing or thrusting at their opponents; many wore steel armour, a practice revived by Napoleon. They were tasked with smashing a hole in the enemy's line of battle, with exploiting a weakness, or with turning a flank. Their classic manoeuvre was the charge; arrayed in close-order lines or columns, the heavy cavalry...

Napoleon's Commanders (2): C.1809-15
ISBN: 9781841763453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey's examination of commanders of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). On the Napoleonic battlefield victory or defeat could still depend on the skills, reactions and personalities of individual commanders. Even under a genius such as Napoleon the dispersal of his armies on campaign, and the lack of fast communications, left command and control of the different corps and divisions in the hands of his marshals and generals. This second in a pair of Elite titles describes in concise but colourful detail the careers and personalities of more than two dozen of Napoleon's leading subordinate...

Napoleon's Light Infantry
ISBN: 9780850455212 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Although light infantry tactics formed one of the cornerstones of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), their employment was by no means restricted to Light regiments. Thus, from the early 1800s, if not before, the distinction between Light and Line infantry was largely one of costume and tradition. One marked difference from the Line infantry, however, was in the superior esprit de corps of the Light regiments. Their attitude of superiority was reinforced by their different (and often more impressive) uniform, the theoretical difference in role, and supposed superior training. Philip...

Napoleon's Guard Infantry
ISBN: 9780850455359 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

Wellington's Specialist Troops
ISBN: 9780850458626 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The specialist troops of Wellington's army played a crucial role in the success of the British Army. Though often understaffed and ineptly managed, the artillery, engineers, transport and commissariat, and medical services contributed to Wellington's ultimate victory in 1815. The Royal Artillery and Corps of Royal Engineers comprised a small number of highly trained officers, while the commissariat was composed of untrained civilians outside military discipline, and the medical services suffered from a shortage of trained surgeons. This richly illustrated book examines the organization,...
