Much like the American War Of Independence companion volume this is not a true "Encyclopedia". It is a well illustrated excellent introduction to the period and will provide a lot of inspiration for history enthusiasts and wargamers alike. The drawings are numerous and well done - not re-hashes. It is not exhaustive - if you want details on every regiments facing colors - this is not the book. Yet there is plenty of text, plenty of information and frankly for the price it is a TREMENDOUS bargain. I think some are misled by the title of the book - this is not meant to be the one-stop reference for die-hard Napoleonic uniform enthusiasts - but IS a colorful, fun and excellent introductory overview to the period - and a fun quick reference even for the die-hards. For the price a steal - just know what you are getting ! Read more

A well produced book,good paper and printing.Interesting in that information is given on the countries that had been beaten and the soldiers incorporated into the Napoleonic army.Campaign details the use of these troops.Uniform details are shown with a single figure well done but if you want to get every thing correct on any given uniform you will have to do research further,which of course is possible as many of these uniforms have been covered in the past books.War gamers will find this useful as it also covers British troops and associated armies.With regard to uniforms the details and rendition are great and there are some that I have not come across before. Very good value for the price.Now if they did one for the period from medieval times to the start of the French revolution,they would have me hooked.As details of the of that period from heraldry on the war horses up the dress of Louise the 16 are so colour full Read more

My 11 yr old is currently obsessed with the Napoleonic era so I got him this book as a gift. I would not consider this to be a book for children but due to his intense interest in the subject matter he loves it. It seems to be pretty comprehensive (not that I’m an expert), and there are illustrations on every page. I included a photo of the table of contents so you can be the judge if it’s the right choice for you. Read more

Came in great condition and way earlier than expected!!!(all the way from USA to latvia). Amazing book. Has a paper cover and the original cardboard one, which im really happy about, because usually books that have the paper ones leave the cardboard one blank. Thank you so much! Read more

Besides its obvious usages as a photo reference for painting Napoleonic miniatures, it gives great color scheme inspiration for use in other eras as well. The illustrations are crisp and detailed, often with accompanying captions explaining any unusual or eccentric elements of decoration. The text accompanying each section does a fair job of explaining the organization and doctrines of each belligerent, as well as identifying the changes organization and equipment throughout the 20 years of war. Highly recommended! Read more
