British Napoleonic Infantry Tactics 1792-1815
ISBN: 9781846032226 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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....

Napoleonic Heavy Cavalry & Dragoon Tactics
ISBN: 9781849087100 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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...

"Not simply the greatest but the only truly great book on war," declared historian Bernard Brodie of "Principles of War."

By his day, war had become a contest of mass armies, with results...

Wellington's Hidden Heroes: The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo
ISBN: 9781612003320 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Duke of Wellington described the Battle of Waterloo as the most desperate business I ever was in. I was never so near being beat . The courage of British troops that day has been rightly praised ever since, but the fact that one-third of the forces which gave him his narrow victory were subjects, not of George III, but of the King of the Netherlands, has been almost completely ignored. This book seeks to correct a grave injustice through the study of Dutch sources both primary and secondary the majority of which have never been used by English-speaking historians.

A Week at Waterloo in 1815
ISBN: 9781508818731 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Week at Waterloo in 1815 is a Napoleonic war history by Magdalene De Lancey. The subject--a deathbed scene--might seem at first sight to be a trite and common one. The mise-en-sce--the Battle of Waterloo--alone however redeems it from such a charge; and the principal actors play their part in no common-place or unrelieved tragedy. "Certainly," as Bacon says, "Vertue is like pretious Odours, most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed: For Prosperity doth best discover Vice; But Adversity doth best discover Vertue."

ISBN: 9781782824619 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The life of Wellington's hard swearing and fighting subordinate
For casual students of the Napoleonic age Sir Thomas Picton might be most notable for his death at the Battle of Waterloo where he was killed by a shot to the head, aged 56, while driving his infantry forward in a bayonet charge against d'Erlon's French Army corps early in the conflict. A Welshman, Picton was known to be difficult man, naturally aggressive, short of temper and given to prolific cursing. Nevertheless, he rose from comparatively humble beginnings, one of twelve children, from the rank of ensign to that of... The life of Wellington's hard swearing and fighting subordinate

Titan: The Art of British Power in the Age of Revolution and Napoleon
ISBN: 9780806152059 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When the leaders of the French Revolution executed Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1793, they sent a chilling message to the hereditary ruling orders in Europe. Believing that monarchy anywhere presented a threat to democratic rule in France, the leaders of the revolution declared war on European aristocracies, including those of Great Britain. For more than twenty years thereafter, France and England waged a protracted war that ended in British victory. In "Titan," William R. Nester offers a deeply informed and thoroughly fascinating narrative of how England accomplished this...

The Far Campaigning Soldier: a Personal Account of Military service from 1781-1813 in the West Indies, the Egyptian Campaign and the Walcheren Expe
ISBN: 9781782824879 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Personal observations of small campaigns of the Napoleonic age
The long period of the French Revolution, the Consulate and Napoleon's First Empire was notable not as a departure from almost perpetual hostility with the British, but because upon the conclusion of hostilities in 1815 the two nations never again went to war against each other. Military first-hand accounts from this era abound, though predictably most concern the theatres of war that engaged most soldiers of both sides, the Peninsular War and the Waterloo Campaign. Unusually the author of this engaging book of diary entries,... Personal observations of small campaigns of the Napoleonic age
