This book is lavishly illustrated with true works of art, used to describe the uniforms of the French Imperial guard cavalry during the first Napoleonic empire. The color and scope of the uniforms make them certainly as colorful as the troops were themselves. This is an excellent reference work and should be a part of any Napoleonic student's library.

I enjoyed this book, it is all in French. Straight forward illustration with style of its own. Covers the French Imperial Foot Guards. Another nice reference book added to my collection in this series. For the price well worth owning. Read more

How do you review a book when the reviewer cannot read French? I bought this book solely on the strength of the pictures by Charmy, generally naively drawn but containing a wealth of details from primary and secondary sources. The drawings have a certain charm and appeal. Read more
