1-73050 Coggins, Robert and Taylor Jr, Craig NAPOLEON'S BATTLES: Marechal (4th) Edition Full Color NAPOLEON'S BATTLES is a grand-tactical wargame which covers the period of the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, from 1792 to 1815. In these rules, players assume the role of army or Corps commanders. With NB you have the full flexibility that many other games fail to provide so that you can play tournament battles with a standard championship army that can be played in two hours, or recreate bigger historical Battles like Waterloo, Austerlitz, Talavera, Marengo to enjoy such large scale engagements involving multiple players in each side. The real Napoleonic wargame! This game was inducted into the Hall of Fame of Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design. Short list of the main changes: The Standard Rules about fighting in built-up areas (deploying, firing and combat) have been heavily changed for a more realistic outcome. Using the rules from previous editions, built-up areas were not handled as in many historical accounts, so the rules have been adapted to simulate the combats in these focal points in the battlefield more accurately. Some minor changes have been made in the firing section (e.g. template placement, bonus) both in the Standard and Optional Rules to avoid unrealistic extreme situations. A new set of Optional Rules have been included to handle some aspects related to the units' built-in commanding officers, allowing them to have a little chance of rallying the unit independently or limited handling of an out-of-command situation. Now brigade commanders can take initiative tests even though they are not represented on the board. The effects of casualties among attached units have also been slightly modified. In the Standard Rules units can now no longer pass freely through other friendly formations. Movement in march column and over bridges has also been changed for a more realistic outcome. A list of abilities have been included as an Optional Rule to avoid a fixed statistic line for each unit type and allow to represent differences in morale, training or experience between units of the same type and nationality, so players and scenario designers can customize the units based on the historical behaviour of a particular unit. The unit sizes have also been altered to fit more accurately in the historical scenarios. A number of updated scenarios are provided within the rules, with more of them to be published on the website plus and a web facility to help building customized armies as an option for players that wish to use it. Cavalry with a react marker can counter-charge if contacted when having a react marker as a new optional rule (this is considered 'Attacking Cavalry'). A new combined arms attack Optional rule has been designed to avoid a perfect coordination of the battlefield units, which historically was very hard to accomplish. Hence, pulling out devastating attacks becomes more difficult with this rule and the players must weigh different options depending on the risk they want to assume. The all-out attack and dismounted cavalry sections have been moved from Standard Rules (in the previous edition) to Optional, since they are seldom used and not suitable for beginners. The rules themselves have not been changed, so veteran players can still use them as before if desired. 1 vol, 184 pgs 2015 UK, PARTIZAN PRESS NEW-hardcover ......$55.00 ..see our WARGAMING RULES page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-30001 Slitherine, Terry Shaw FIELD OF GLORY: Napoleonic Triumph of Nations In 1812, after a period of considerable victories, Napoleon found himself fighting on two fronts, suffering setback after setback. With his forces in Spain being pushed back, Napoleon launched an invasion of his former ally, Russia, leading the half-million-strong Grande Armee to Moscow and a brutal defeat at the hands of Russian forces and the bitter winter. On the defensive, Napoleon was defeated and exiled, but returned to lead his loyal armies against a coalition of European nations in a final campaign that culminated at Waterloo. Triumph of Nations, a companion for Field of Glory Napoleonic, provides players with all the army lists and details they need to recreate the battles of the later Empire, from the disastrous invasion of Russia to the glorious Hundred Days. 1 vol, 164 pgs 2012 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-hardcover, NEW-softcover, REDUCED PRICE ......$35.00 discount: :15% ..see our WARGAMING RULES page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-221740 Macfarlane, Peter THE ROYAL DRAGOON GUARDS: A Regimental History 1685-2018 The Royal Dragoon Guards have a long and distinguished history dating from 1685. Originally raised as regiments of horse and dragoons, they were subsequently designated as the 4th, 5th and 7th Dragoon Guards and the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. They fought in all of Britain's major wars from the late 17th century onwards, charging at Blenheim with Marlborough's cavalry, at Waterloo with the Union Brigade, and at Balaklava with the Heavy Brigade. In the 19th century, they also saw service in India and Africa. All four regiments served in France and Flanders during the First World War and one regiment fired the first British shot on the Western Front. They were then amalgamated into two regiments - the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. Both regiments were mechanized shortly before the Second World War, in which they played a leading role in the D-Day landings. In 1992, the two regiments amalgamated again to form the Royal Dragoon Guards. Recent conflicts have taken the regiment to Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing a record of operational service covering more than three centuries. This regimental history of the Dragoons tells their story as it played out across the centuries, exploring their role in both major and minor conflicts of the last 300 years. The title examines the development of the regiment up to the present day and highlights key figures across its history. The text is supported throughout with photographs and illustrations.1 vol, 416 pgs 2019 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-softcover, available mid October 2019 ......$20.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our UNIT HISTORY page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-2151523 Cristini, Luca UNIFORMS OF FRENCH RESTORATION 1814-1830 - Vol. 3 Illustrations of the French Restoration Army by several famous French artists of the 19th century. The first part contains plates by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray De Breville better known As Job. The other artists are: Aubry, Benigni, Boisselier, E.Chaperon, Dupray, Hilpert, Knotel, Krakow, Lapeyre, R.Louis, Roux, Vallet, and others. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is based almost entirely on the Viskuezzen collection, which belongs to the NYPL, to whom we are particularly grateful. We left all the captions of the plates in the original French text. All the plates have been extensively restored and partially reconstructed, since the originals preserved at the NYPL are not in good condition, often assembled in rough cut-outs etc. Napoleon was defeated by a combined Allied army in 1815 at Waterloo, and Louis XVIII was returned to the throne. Realizing that the remains of the existing army had no loyalty to the restored monarchy, the government of Louis XVIII undertook a wholesale disbandment of what had been Napoleon's regiments. In their place he created a system of Departmental Legions with no historic connections to empire, republic, or even the pre-1792 monarchy. His government appointed many aristocratic officers to the new army, which lost much of its morale, much as it had in 1789. In 1823, a French expeditionary force aided Spanish troops loyal to the Bourbon king of that country when his regime was threatened by an uprising. In 1830, Louis XVIII's brother, Charles X, now king, was toppled in the July Revolution. 1 vol, 96 pgs 2021 ITALY, SOLDIER SHOP NEW-softcover, available late April 2021 ......$39.00 rct ..see our UNIFORMS page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-191950 Martin, Yves Les Carabiniers From its creation by the Sun King to the dark days of the Terrible Year, the Carabineros have been, as so aptly put their motto, 'always on the path of honor.' Jealous of their prerogatives, proud of their uniforms and their excellence, the carabinieri are wanted and were the elite of the French cavalry, an example for the rest of this weapon. Become, by their own initiative, the 'grenadiers of the cavalry' at the beginning of the French Revolution, when the time was rather the abolition of privileges, they will go through the wars of the Republic in Germany and Flanders and not intersect the future master of their destiny after 18 Brumaire. They are the victorious campaign of Moreau in 1800 and perhaps this is why the Emperor later stated he knows that 'rifle does not like me.' However, superb regiments, they will be hoping to join the Imperial Guard, but will just take the first rank in the cavalry of the line and have nominally headed by the military over Bonaparte brothers, Louis, as Colonel-General . In 1805, they will all major campaigns of the Grand Army they would never leave. They instructed Austerlitz to Waterloo, shining in all the major battles and the battles are obscure. In this bicentennial year of the campaign of 1809, we had to pay tribute to the rifle which was perhaps the bloodiest campaign. Their loss, so they decided cuirass, and therefore the carabinieri caracol?rent in shining armor of gold. In this work we review the history of rifle creation to an end after the 1870 war. However most of the work is obviously on the years 1792-1815 when they wrote perhaps the most glorious pages of history. The recall involves both the testimony rare or little known to a large and iconography selected. The evolution of their uniforms and equipment is obviously not forgotten. 1 vol, 192 pgs 2009 FRANCE, LE LIVRE CHEZ VOUS NEW-slipcase, French Text ......$198.00 ..see our UNIFORMS page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-972046 Greentree, David 046 BRITISH RIFLEMAN vs FRENCH SKIRMISHER: Peninsular War and Waterloo 1808-15 The battles between British and French forces during the Peninsular War (1807-14) and the Hundred Days campaign of 1815 saw both sides deploy specialist units of skirmishers trained in marksmanship and open-order combat. These 'light' troops fulfilled several important roles on the battlefield, such as 'masking' large bodies of close-order troops as they maneuvered in battle, firing upon enemy troops to provoke them into attacking prematurely, and harassing enemy artillery crews and senior officers with aimed fire. On occasion, the skirmishers were tasked with special missions requiring individual initiative, such as the capture or defense of key battlefield positions, especially those situated in difficult terrain. While Napoleon's skirmishers carried the smoothbore musket, notoriously inaccurate and short-ranged, several elite units fighting for Britain were armed with the rifle, a far more accurate weapon that was hampered by a slower rate of fire. As well as the legendary 95th Rifles, Britain fielded rifle-armed German troops of the 60th Regiment and the King's German Legion, while France's light troops were fielded in individual companies but also entire regiments. In this study, Assesses the role and effectiveness of rifle-armed British troops and their French open-order opponents in three very different encounters: Roli?a (August 1808), the first British battle of the Peninsular War; the struggle for a key bridge at Barba del Puerco (March 1810); and the bitter fight for the La Haye Sainte farmhouse during the battle of Waterloo (June 1815).1 vol, 80 pgs 2019 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-pb, available mid February 2020 ......$22.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our COMBAT MEN page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-975059 Larsen, Alan 059 THE CAVALRY LANCE The development of cavalry firearms and the widespread disappearance of armor from the European battlefield saw a decline in the use of the cavalry lance in early modern warfare. However, by 1800 the lance, much changed from its medieval predecessors in both form and function, was back. During the next century the use of the lance spread to the armed forces of almost every Western country, seeing action in every major conflict from the Napoleonic Wars to World War I including the Crimean and Franco-Prussian wars and across the Atlantic in the American Civil War. The lance even reached the colonial conflicts of the Anglo-Sikh and Boer wars. It was not until the disappearance of the mounted warrior from the battlefield that the lance was consigned to history. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon a variety of sources, this is the engaging story of the cavalry lance at war during the 19th and 20th centuries, from Waterloo to the Somme.1 vol, 80 pgs 2017 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-softcover, available mid November 2017 ......$20.00 discount: :15% ..see our WPN page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-975044 Reid, Stuart 044 THE FLINTLOCK MUSKET: Brown Bess and Charleville 1715-1865 The flintlock or firelock musket is one of the most iconic weapons in history: first used on the battlefields of the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War, it was carried by both sides at Bunker Hill, Waterloo and the Alamo, and dominated warfare for more than 150 years, with military service as late as the American Civil War in the 1860s. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork, this engaging study examines the role that the flintlock played in close-order combat on European and other battlefields around the world. Employing first-hand accounts to show how tactical doctrines were successfully developed to overcome the weapon's inherent limitations, and exploring the use of the flintlock musket by individuals in irregular warfare, chiefly in North America, this volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the flintlock's lasting impact as the first truly universal soldier's weapon. 1 vol, 80 pgs 2015 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-softcover, available mid January 2016 ......$19.00 discount: :15% ..see our WPN page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-996276 Franklin, John 276 WATERLOO 1815 (1) Quatre Bras To commemorate the 2015 bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, one of the defining campaigns in European History, Osprey is replacing its single volume Campaign title covering the whole of the battle with three highly detailed volumes. Based on new research drawn from unpublished first-hand accounts these volumes will provide a comprehensive resource for every aspect of the battle. The first of this trilogy details the battle of Quatre Bras where an initial 8,000 Allied troops faced 48,000 men of the French Armee du Nord under Marshal Ney. Realizing his error, Wellington concentrated his troops at the strategic crossroads of Quatre Bras where they just managed to hold off Ney's attacks. The battle ended in a tactical stalemate but, unable to link up with Blucher's Prussians, Wellington retreated back along the road to Brussels to new positions at Waterloo. Featuring extensive photographs, full color artworks, maps and bird's-eye-views, this first installment is not to be missed.

With Wellington unable to assist his Prussian allies in time, the Prussian center was overwhelmed as night began to fall, although the flanks were able to retreat in some semblance of order.

The following year they were named Dragons de l'Imperatrice in a unique compliment to the Empress Josephine. As a ceremonial regiment it enjoyed many privileges, but it also saw combat on a number of occasions, including the battles of Essling and Wagram (1809), the Russian campaign (1812, when it suffered severe losses), at Bautzen, Wachau, and Leipzig (1813), in the 1814 Campaign of France, and at Ligny and Waterloo (1815). 1 vol, 48 pgs 2012 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-softcover, available late April 2012 ......$18.00 discount: :15% ..see our MAA page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-239330 Roberts, Andrew The Art of War: Great Commanders of the Modern World 17th-20th Centuries Which was the most brilliant of Napoleon's victories? How close did the Duke of Wellington come to losing the battle of Waterloo? What qualities made 'Stonewall' Jackson a battlefield commander of genius? What tactics did Montgomery employ to defeat Rommel at Alamein? How did General Giap's Viet Minh troops inflict defeat on a French army at Dienbienphu, despite the massive artillery superiority of their colonial opponents? The answers to these and a myriad other fascinating questions can be found in The Art of War, a sumptuous chronological survey of the 50 greatest commanders of the early modern and modern worlds. Compiled by an exceptionally distinguished team of historians (the contributors include such eminent names as Antonia Fraser, Alistair Horne, Michael Burleigh, Simon Sebag Montefiore and Richard Overy) working under the general editorship of the Andrew Roberts, The Art of War is an authoritative and lavishly illustrated account of the lives and careers of the 50 greatest military commanders of the period, from Cromwell to Konev, from Marlborough to Moltke, and from Petain to Patton. Every commander is profiled in a concise and informative 3000-word article which not only brings its subject vividly to life via a lively, fact-driven narrative, but also analyses and assesses his tactical and strategic gifts. Each biography is accompanied by a 'battle feature' or 'campaign feature' - embellished by a full-colour battle plan or campaign map - focusing on the commander's greatest battlefield achievement. As accessible and informative as it is rigorous and scholarly, The Art of War is the perfect introduction to its subject for the layperson - but also a stimulating and thought-provoking read for those with greater knowledge of military history. With its companion volume, focusing on the great commanders of the ancient and medieval eras, it forms an indispensable guide to the greatest generals the world has seen.1 vol, 446 pgs 2009 UK, QUERCUS AS NEW-dj, one copy available, first come first served ......$20.00 used ..see our GENERAL MILITARY page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-198070 Grant, Charles S THE WOLFENBUTTEL WAR The Wolfenbuttel War is the third book following on from Raid on St. Michel and The Annexation of Chiraz. Once again, this book concerns the hostilities of Charles' two fictitious mid-eighteenth century combatants, the Grand Duchy of Lorraine and the Vereinigte Freie Stadte (VFS). That said, the scenarios are applicable throughout the horse-and-musket period with little modification. Where this mini-campaign differs from its predecessors is that it is loosely based on a real campaign -- that of the Hundred Days, culminating at Waterloo. The four scenarios and the movements between them are drawn from the battles of Quatre Bras, Ligny, Wavre and Waterloo. However, while the campaign sequence is followed, the outcome is far from certain. The book provides the fictitious background to the war, planning details including the selection of forces, the instructions for each army, tabletop maps, and orders for each side. There are instructions for the game organizer and options for forces in each battle if fought as a stand-alone wargame. The book is illustrated with photographs of each battle as it was fought with Charles' armies. Newspapers and a Who's Who, not to mention the Ballroom scene, add color to the story of the Wolfenbuttel War.1 vol, 72 pgs 2013 UK, PARTIZAN PRESS NEW-softcover ......$32.00 ..see our 18TH CENTURY page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Wellington's Veterans and the Liberation of the New World In the aftermath of Waterloo, over 6,000 British volunteers sailed across the Atlantic to aid Simon Bolivar in his liberation of Gran Columbia from her oppressors in Madrid. The expeditions were plagued with disaster from the start, one ship sank shortly after leaving Portsmouth with the loss of almost 200 lives. Those who reached the New World faced disease, wild animals, mutiny, and desertion. Conditions on campaign were appalling, massacres were commonplace, rations crude, pay infrequent, and supplies insufficient. Nevertheless, those who endured made key contributions to Bolivar's success. 1 vol, 392 pgs 2010 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-dj, REDUCED PRICE ......$26.00 discount: :15% 0 ..see our 19TH CENTURY page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-217170 Weaver, Ralph THE HUNDRED THOUSAND SONS OF ST. LOUIS This book sheds light on an almost unknown military campaign conducted by a French army, 100,000 men strong. The army was referred to by the French king as the 'Sons of St. Louis' and was pitted against parts of the regular Spanish army and a numerous militia. The cause of the war was a revolution in Spain in 1820 which brought in a 'Liberal' government and the Cortez (Spanish parliament) held King Ferdinand as a virtual prisoner. Ferdinand appealed for help from the French who were supported by an army of Spanish Royalists. A few years earlier many of these Royalist volunteers had been France's bitter enemies and had fought Napoleon's generals to a standstill. The French troops who crossed the Pyrenees were part of a newly forged army, taken from the debris of Napoleon's old regiments augmented with newly raised conscripts and many inexperienced officers drawn from emigres and the old nobility who had returned to France after the Battle of Waterloo. However, it was led by battle-hardened former Imperial officers and was placed under the overall command of the king of France's nephew, who was also in line for the throne of France. A full account of the campaign is given, together with detailed descriptions and organization of the armies of France and Spain, illustrated with contemporary pictures and modern interpretations and including maps and plans of the war. The final and crucial battle, the taking of the forts on the island of the Trocadero, opposite Cadiz, is given special attention. Although small by recent European standards, the fight was decisive for bringing about the end to the war and for establishing the spirit of the new French Royal army and restoring France to a position as one of the leading world powers. 1 vol, 140 pgs 2018 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available mid May 2018 ......$50.00 discount: :15% ..see our 19TH CENTURY page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-970011 Arcq, Alain; illust by Florent Vincent WAVRE and NAMUR - 18-21 June 1815 FORGOTTEN BATTLES series: On the evening of the battle of Ligny, Napoleon marched to Waterloo. Winner of the Prussians, the Emperor joined Marshal Ney, who was unable to beat the British allies, Belgian and Dutch at the Battle of Quatre Bras. The Emperor left the Grouchy chase what he believes to be a Prussian army routed. While the cannon thundered in Waterloo, the Army Corps of Grouchy engage the Prussians at the Battle of Wavre. Grouchy did err in not walking to the sound of cannon to Waterloo? Did he simply followed the order of the Emperor? The volume of real Napoleonic battle totally ignored attempts to restore the truth about this episode. After the Battle of Wavre, this book presents for the first time in full fighting Namur copy and retirement of the French army to France, organized with zeal by Grouchy.

1-209520 Baker-Smith, Veronica WELLINGTON'S HIDDEN HEROES: The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo 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, the majority of which have never been used by English-speaking historians. The Dutch-Belgians have been variously described as inexperienced, incompetent and cowardly, a rogue element in the otherwise disciplined Allied Army. It is only now being tentatively acknowledged that they alone saved Wellington from disaster at Quatre Bras. He had committed a strategic error in that, as Napoleon advanced, his own troops were scattered over a hundred kilometers of southern Belgium. Outnumbered three to one, the Netherlanders gave him time to concentrate his forces and save Brussels from French occupation. At Waterloo itself, on at least three occasions when the fate of the battle 'hung upon the cusp,' their engagement with the enemy aided British recovery. Their commander - the Prince of Orange - has been viciously described as an arrogant fool, a disaster waiting to happen, and even a dangerous lunatic. According to the assessment of Wellington himself, he was a reliable and courageous subordinate. This book reveals a full assessment of the challenge Willem I faced as king of a country hastily cobbled together by the Congress of Vienna, and of his achievement in assembling, equipping and training 30,000 men from scratch in 18 months. 1 vol, 208 pgs 2015 US, CASEMATE NEW-dj, available mid October 2015 ......$33.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

The book deals with all aspects of the campaign, from grand strategy, with the proposed marriage alliance between the House of Orange and the House of Hanover, to tactical analysis of the battles and sieges that took place, including the disastrous attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, where heroic British soldiers paid with their lives for their commanders' failures. The problems of co-operation between the British and Prussians described here foreshadowed those, which would affect Wellington in 1815.

1-236480 Brown, Steve FIT TO COMMAND: British Regimental Leadership in the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars Regimental and battalion commanders are perhaps the most-overlooked cohort of the British Army during the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. 19th-century histories tending to be written from the top down, such that the decisions of the commanding generals took primacy; the battalion commanders existed at the very bottom of that chain and so were infrequently seen. In contrast, contemporary works have concentrated on a bottom-up view of history, placing the memoirs of the rank and file and junior officers as central to the action, and for these writers the battalion commanders generally existed at the rarely seen outer edge of their regimental experience. This book seeks to bring the battalion commanders of the British army in the period 1793 to 1815 into sharp focus and enable to see their progression -- how the field officers of Wellington's victorious Peninsula army of 1814 were dramatically better equipped for their roles than their earlier counterparts in Flanders in 1793. Includes 25 b/w photos, 1 map, 3 diagrams, 29 tables, and two graphs. We are left with a documentary vacuum at field officer levels. Yet within this vacuum, battalion commanders - lieutenant-colonels and majors - were undertaking a very difficult task for which the British Army frequently failed to equip them for, intellectually or physically. Not only did they have to administer an organization of maybe 1,000 men or more but were also responsible for directing small-unit tactics on the battlefield, as well as providing inspiring leadership to their men. Most commanders had to learn their craft on-the-job. Singular examples of outstanding battalion leadership such as Colborne at Waterloo, Stirling at Alexandria, and Inglis at Albuera bring into focus the qualities required of good battalion commanders. Conversely, the impact of a bad commander could be disastrous, and at times lead to the near-destruction of the units - such as the 2/69th at Quatre Bras - or near-mutiny, as happened within the 85th Foot in 1813.1 vol, 372 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY NEW-pb, available late April 2023 ......$50.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Their characters, experience, and level of competence were key factors in the successes and failures of the army as a whole. Their biographies give us a fascinating insight into their individual backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses, and the makeup of the society they came from.

1-210000 Cornwell, Bernhard WATERLOO: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles On June 18, 1815, the armies of France, Britain, and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which the town gave its name would become a landmark in European history. In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment-from Napoleon's daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, Cornwell brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles-as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end.1 vol, 352 pgs 2015 US, HARPER NEW-dj ......$35.00 discount: :10% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-215300 Dawson, Paul MARSHAL NEY AT QUATRE BRAS: New Perspectives on the Opening Battle of the Waterloo Campaign Fought on 16 June 1815, two days before the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Quatre Bras has been described as a tactical Anglo-allied victory, but a French strategic victory. The French Marshal Ney was given command of the left wing of Napoleon's army and ordered to seize the vital crossroads at Quatre Bras, as the prelude to an advance on Brussels. The crossroads was of strategic importance because the side which controlled it could move southeastward along the Nivelles-Namur road. Including 16 illustrations and a central plate section. Yet the normally bold and dynamic Ney was uncharacteristically cautious. As a result, by the time he mounted a full-scale attack upon the Allied troops holding Quatre Bras, the Duke of Wellington had been able to concentrate enough strength to hold the crossroads. Ney's failure at Quatre Bras had disastrous consequences for Napoleon, whose divided army was not able to reunite in time to face Wellington at Waterloo.1 vol, 256 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, special price limited quantity limited time ......$45.00 discount: :40% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-215560 Dawson, Paul NAPOLEON AND GROUCHY: The Last Great Waterloo Mystery Unravelled One of the enduring controversies of the Waterloo campaign is the conduct of Marshal Grouchy. Given command of a third of Napoleon's army and told to keep the Prussians from joining forces with Wellington, he failed to keep Wellington and Blucher apart with the result that Napoleon was overwhelmed at Waterloo. Grouchy, though, was not defeated. He kept his force together and retreated in good order back to France. Many have accused Grouchy of intentionally holding back his men and not marching to join Napoleon when the sound of the gunfire at Waterloo could clearly be heard, and he has been widely blamed for Napoleon's defeat. This is a subject which is generally overlooked by British historians, who tend to concentrate on the actions of Wellington and Napoleon, and which French historians choose not to look at too closely for fear that it might reflect badly upon their hero Napoleon. Grouchy's conduct during the Waterloo campaign is analyzed in fine detail, drawing principally on French sources not previously available in English. The author, for example, answers questions such as whether key orders did actually exist in 1815 or were they later fabrications to make Grouchy the scapegoat for Napoleon's failures? Did General Gerard really tell Grouchy to 'march to the sound of the guns?' Why did Grouchy appear to move so slowly when speed was essential?1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj ......$45.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-216310 Dawson, Paul WATERLOO: The Truth At Last - Why Napoleon Lost the Great Battle During October 2016 Paul Dawson visited French archives in Paris to continue his research surrounding the events of the Napoleonic Wars. Some of the material he examined had never been accessed by researchers or historians before, the files involved having been sealed in 1816. These seals remained unbroken until Paul was given permission to break them to read the contents. Forget what you have read about the battle on the Mont St Jean on 18 June 1815; it did not happen that way. The start of the battle was delayed because of the state of the ground - not so. Marshal Ney destroyed the French cavalry in his reckless charges against the Allied infantry squares - wrong. The stubborn defense of Hougoumont, the key to Wellington's victory, where a plucky little garrison of British Guards held the farmhouse against the overwhelming force of Jerome Bonaparte's division and the rest of II Corps - not true. Did the Union Brigade really destroy d'Erlon's Corps, did the Scots Greys actually attack a massed French battery, did La Haie Sainte hold out until late in the afternoon? All these and many more of the accepted stories concerning the battle are analyzed through accounts (some 200 in all) previously unpublished, mainly derived through French sources, with startling conclusions. Most significantly of all is the revelation of exactly how, and why, Napoleon was defeated.1 vol, 568 pgs 2018 UK, FRONTLONE BOOKS NEW-dj, available late February 2018 ......$45.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Did the Union Brigade really destroy d'Erlon's Corps, did the Scots Greys actually attack a massed French battery, did La Haie Sainte hold out until late in the afternoon? Most significantly of all is the revelation of exactly how, and why, Napoleon was defeated.1 vol, 568 pgs 2023 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-pb, available mid September 2023 ......$40.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-214070 Dawson, Paul Lindsay NAPOLEON'S GODS: The Grenadiers a Cheval 1812-1815 The senior regiment of Napoleon's Imperial Guard was the Grenadiers a Cheval, nicknamed the Gods, and hence the title of this book. As heavy cavalry of the Guard, they took part in the charge of the cavalry of the Guard at Austerlitz. They especially took a share of glory with their charge at Eylau on 8 February 1807. They served in Spain, Austria and Russia. No other cavalry regiment in the French army compared to its service in 1813 and 1814, the campaigns of the Guard par excellence. They were present at Dresden, Leipzig and especially Hanau where they charged the Austrian and Bavarian cavalry, and took part in the famous charges of the Imperial Guard at Waterloo. This book provides a brief introduction to Napoleon's Imperial Guard and the regiment's place in it, as well as brief early history of the regiment, and a hoof-to-tack description of the Grenadiers a Cheval from the fateful Russian campaign of 1812 to its disbandment in 1815 following the disaster of Waterloo. It describes the horses, uniforms and equipment of the regiment, as well as regimental organization, and provides short biographies of the officers and some of the men, giving a vivid picture of how the men of the regiment lived, and in some cases, how they died.1 vol, 404 pgs 2017 UK, BLACK TENT PUBLICATIONS NEW-pb ......$49.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-195370 Divall, Carole REDCOATS AGAINST NAPOLEON: The 30th Regiment During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars Companion volume to Inside the Regiment: The Officers and Men of the 30th Regiment During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars Military histories of the struggle against the French armies of the Revolution and Napoleon often focus on the exploits of elite units and famous individuals, ignoring the essential contribution made by the ordinary soldiers - the bulk of the British army. Carole Divall, in this graphic and painstakingly researched account, tells the story of one such hitherto ignored group of fighting men, the 30th Regiment of the Line. She takes their story from one of the opening clashes of the long war, the Siege of Toulon in 1793, to the decisive Battle of Waterloo in 1815. She gives us a fresh perspective on key events the men took part in - Massena's retreat from the Lines of Torres Vedras, the bloody storming of Badajoz, the retreat from Burgos, the ordeal of the troops holding the centre of Wellington's Waterloo position. The regiment's history - which she describes using some hitherto unpublished and vivid memoirs left by the men themselves and those they fought alongside - offers a fascinating insight into the life of British soldiers two centuries ago. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2011 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-215900 Field, Andrew WATERLOO ROUT & RETREAT: The French Perspective Fourth volume in series depicts the often neglected final phase - the rout and retreat of Napoleon's army. The text is based exclusively on French eyewitness accounts, which give an inside view of the immediate aftermath of the battle and carry the story through to the army's disbandment in late 1815. Many French officers and soldiers wrote more about the retreat than they did about the catastrophe of Waterloo itself. Their recollections give a fascinating insight to the psyche of the French soldier. They also provide a first-hand record of their experiences and the range of their reactions, from those who deserted the colors and made their way home, to those who continued to serve faithfully when all was lost. Napoleon's own flight from Waterloo is an essential part of the narrative, but the main emphasis is on the fate of the beaten French army as it was experienced by eyewitnesses who lived through the last days of the campaign.1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available late December 2017 ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
2-221010 Field, Andrew GROUCHY'S WATERLOO: The Battles of Ligny and Wavre This concluding volume of a study exploring the French perspective of the Waterloo campaign covers the final offensive the French victory over the Prussians at Ligny and Marshal Grouchy's pursuit of the Prussians and the battle at Wavre. Grouchy's extensive description of his operations forms the backbone of the narrative, supplemented by other French sources and those of Prussian eyewitnesses. Napoleon in his memoirs accused Grouchy, like Marshal Ney, of a series of failures in command that led to the French defeat, and many subsequent historians took the same line.1 vol, 336 pgs 2019 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-pb ......$30.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-223820 Field, Andrew The French at Waterloo: Eyewitness Accounts - Napoleon, Imperial Headquarters and 1st Corps Andrew Field, who has published four best-selling books on the Battle of Waterloo, has established himself as one of the leading experts on the French perspective of the campaign. Using selected extracts from French eyewitness accounts that haven't been published before in English, he has added a new dimension to our understanding of what happened on the battlefield on 18 June 1815. Now he takes his pioneering work a step further by publishing these accounts, with all their vivid and personal detail, in full. For the first time readers will be in a position to make their own interpretations of them and compare them to the recollections of soldiers from the allied armies, in particular the British, which have largely determined our assumptions about the battle for the last 200 years. They will also gain a heightened insight into the trauma that the French eyewitnesses went through as they tried to explain how the French lost a battle they claim they had been on the point of winning. This, the first of two volumes of the French accounts, features Napoleon's own description of the battle, those of his immediate household and the Imperial headquarters, and those of members of 1st Corps. Napoleon's own version of events, one of the first to be published in France, was used as the basis of many subsequent histories that ignore or gloss over his many dubious claims. His account of his actions and his view of what happened on that decisive day, and those of his close associates, make fascinating reading. 1 vol, 176 pgs 2020 UK, PEN AND SWORD NEW-dj, available early June 2020 ......$35.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
2-208610 Field, Andrew W PRELUDE TO WATERLOO: Quatre Bras The Battle of Quatre Bras has been overshadowed by the two larger-scale engagements at Ligny and at Waterloo itself. And too often the clash at Quatre Bras has been seen mainly through the eyes of the British and their allies - the viewpoint of the French has been neglected. Drawing on French eyewitness recollections and later commentary, he reconstructs the French experience of the battle - and the French interpretation of it. He quotes extensively, and subjects to critical analysis, the conflicting accounts written by Napoleon and his subordinates as they sought to justify their decisions and actions at this pivotal moment in the campaign.1 vol, 256 pgs 2014 UK, Pen & Sword NEW-pb ......$27.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-208280 Glover G editor THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SIR HENRY CLINTON IN THE WATERLOO CAMPAIGN - VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 2: Preparation for Waterloo (August 1814 - April 1815) This set contains Volume One and Volume Two. This revealing and remarkable study came out of the blue when Gareth Glover discovered that the Clinton papers were held in two libraries on both sides of the Atlantic and that they ran to many thousand un-researched documents. It has been a labor of years of work to collate the documents and effectively edit them into one narrative. Why is this so important? Clinton's meticulous diary and reports provide the essentially research into the small British-Hanoverian army that served as a defense force for the newly liberated Netherlands under the command of the hereditary Prince of Orange in August 1814. He performed the role of Inspecting Officer for all the troops in Belgium including the fledgling Belgian and Dutch units and is a vital witness to the quality and training of all of these troops and to the massive repair program to the main border fortresses in the run up to the Waterloo campaign. With Napoleon's return to power and the mobilization of the army for war once again, Henry Clinton was then appointed by the Duke of Wellington to command the Second Division, consisting of Adam's British Light Infantry Brigade, Du Plat's Brigade of King's German Legion troops and Halkett's Brigade of Hanoverian troops, a very diverse group with varying degrees of experience, equipment and training. His correspondence most importantly is written contemporaneously and gives honest assessments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of all of these troops and is both enlightening and often surprising. The second volume deals with the final preparations for war, including the arrival of the Duke of Wellington. The operations, particularly of the Second Division during the whirlwind campaign of Waterloo and the consequent march to Paris are described in great detail as are the details of the Army of Occupation which lasted until 1818, concluding with their embarkation. As well as his correspondence, Henry Clinton also kept a personal diary that was completed each evening. All of this various material has been put into date order and each day's diary entry precedes the correspondence for the day (inserted by date of writing rather than of receipt) and the letters have been put in sequential order wherever it is possible or a time of day is indicated. The appendix gives extracts recorded by an officer in Adam's Brigade of his Brigade orders that dovetail with the correspondence between Sir Henry Clinton and his brigade.2 vol, 560 pgs 2015 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN NEW-dj ......$99.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Many other maps are included to fill out the wider campaign plus the rare plans of the major sieges by Colonel Sir James Carmichael Smyth. Still that is not all, the volume also includes the earliest views of the battlefield, those of William Stoney, Denis Dighton and James Rouse amongst others.

1-213580 Glover, Gareth THE AMERICAN SHARPE: The Adventures of an American Officer of the 95th Rifles in the Peninsular and Waterloo Campaigns Sharpe and his adventures has made the 95th Foot renowned again and the discovery of an unpublished diary by an American from Charleston South Carolina who served, despite his father's objections, as an officer in this elite regiment has caused great excitement. Includes 16 high quality color prints. James Penman Gairdner was born in Charleston, SC, but he was sent back to the 'Old Country' for his education, receiving his schooling at Harrow. After school, rather than joining his father's merchant business, he decided to become a soldier and received a commission in the famous 95th Rifles. He subsequently served, without a break, from the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812 until the end of the war in 1814. He then fought in the Waterloo campaign and formed part of the Army of Occupation. He was wounded on three occasions. Throughout his service he kept a journal, which he managed to maintain on almost a daily basis. This journal, along with a number of letters that he wrote to his family are presented for the first time. Readers will not find dramatic stories of great battles or adventurous escapades. Instead, Gairdner, details the everyday life of one of Wellington's soldiers; one of marches and billets, of the weather, the places, and the people of the Iberian Peninsula and of Paris and Occupied France - the real nature of soldering. His diaries also highlight the very strange relationship between these newly independent Americans and the 'Old Country' they had so recently fought with; which even allowed for a true American boy to fight in the British Army, but not in America!1 vol, 272 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, available mid March 2017 ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-215930 Glover, Gareth A SCOTS GREY AT WATERLOO: The Remarkable Story of Sergeant William Clarke William Clarke of Prestonpans, Scotland, joined the 2nd Royal North British Dragoons, the Scots Greys, in 1803. Clarke had risen to the rank of sergeant by the time the regiment was ordered to Belgium on the news that Napoleon had escaped from Elba. Forming part of what became known as the 'Union' Brigade, the Scots Greys played a key role in Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. The John Rylands Library, Manchester, recently acquired William Clarke's 600-page, handwritten memoir describing his enlistment and military career, the highlight of which was the Waterloo campaign, which he describes in unusual detail in the vernacular of the day, presented and annotated by the renowned historian Garth Glover. Follow the movements of the Scots Greys throughout the three days from Quatre-Bras to that climatic encounter on the Mont St Jean. Clarke naturally portrays the charge of the Union Brigade in dramatic and heroic terms, but he claims that the man who led the charge, Major General William Ponsonby, was killed by a musket ball and not cut down by French cavalry, as is usually stated, for recklessly charging too far. After the battle, Clarke was part of the Burial Party. He then graphically describes the sad scene as he does the trail of the defeated French army as the pursuing Prussians cut a merciless path on their way to Paris.1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-hardback, available late January 2018 ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-225270 Glover, Gareth Waterloo: Myth and Reality More has probably been written about the Waterloo campaign than almost any other in history. It was the climax of the Napoleonic Wars and forms a watershed in both European and world history. However, the lethal combination of national bias, willful distortion, and simple error has unfortunately led to the constantly regurgitated traditional 'accepted' version being significantly wrong regarding many episodes in the campaign. Oft-repeated claims have morphed into established fact and, with the bicentenary of this famous battle soon to be commemorated, it is high time that these are challenged and finally dismissed. Gareth Glover has spent a decade uncovering hundreds of previously unpublished eyewitness accounts of the battle and campaign, which have highlighted many of these myths and errors. In this groundbreaking history, based on extensive primary research of all the nations involved, he provides a very readable and beautifully balanced account of the entire campaign while challenging these distorted claims and myths, and he provides clear evidence to back his version of events. His thoughtful reassessment of this decisive episode in world history will be stimulating reading for those already familiar with the Napoleonic period and it will form a fascinating introduction for readers who are discovering this extraordinary event for the first time. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2020 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-pb, available mid September 2020 ......$29.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-218810 Glover, Gareth and Morrisson, Paul editors A NEW SYSTEM OF CAVALRY SWORDSMANSHIP: Lt Col Charles Edward Radclyffe 1st Royal Dragoons Transcription of the original manuscript of 1818 with historical notes on the author, plus a complete facsimile of the original notebook printed in color, including the 15 original sketches by the author. This manuscript about cavalry sword exercise proves the change in sword tactics at the end of the Peninsular War and Waterloo, when the use of the cavalry sword went from slashing instrument to a stabbing one (hence the evidence of heavy cavalry grinding their swords to a point before battle). Radclyffe served with the Royal Dragoons in the Peninsula from 1809 to 1814. He also served with distinction during the Waterloo Campaign. During his distinguished service, he reported upon necessary changes to sword tactics, resulting in this vitally important study. No printed copies of it have been recorded until now. Because of its importance and charm we have reproduced the original work in straight facsimile but also reset it for easier reading. A biography and letters from the Waterloo campaign are also included.1 vol, 114 pgs 2018 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN NEW-hardback, available late December 2018 ......$48.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-209310 Glover, Gateth WATERLOO: The Defeat of Napoleon's Imperial Guard - Henry Clinton, the 2nd Division and the End of a 200-year-old Controversy This is the most detailed account of the 2nd Division at Waterloo ever published. It is based on the papers of its commander Sir Henry Clinton and it reveals for the first time the previously unrecognized vital role this division made in the defeat of Napoleon. It explains how the division was placed ahead of the main allied squares thus impeding the charges of the French cavalry, and how the 2nd Division supported the defense of Hougoumont, considered by the Duke of Wellington as the key to his victory on 18 June 1815. Perhaps the most significant aspect of this book is the description of the defeat of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Just who and how the incomparable Guard was stopped and then driven from the battlefield is explained in detail. Once and for all, this 200-year controversy is finally resolved. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2015 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Peter Hofsch?er's fascinating account focuses on the Prussians at the Battle of Waterloo and on their critical but often neglected contribution to the battle. He tells the story of the grueling Prussian advance towards the battlefield and he records the ferocious and decisive fight that broke out when they arrived.

1-192340 Hofschroer, Peter translator, editor On Wellington A Critique of Waterloo By Carl von Clausewitz Clausewitz, the Western world's most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington's actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a lying work. The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington's private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschroer brings Clausewitz's critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation Peter Hofschroer, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account's publication during his lifetime-a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz's work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz's critique, Hofschroer also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography. 1 vol, 272 pgs NEW-dj ......$33.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-214741 Hussey, John WATERLOO: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1815: Volume I: From Elba to Ligny and Quatre Bras The first of two groundbreaking volumes on the Waterloo campaign, this book is based upon a detailed analysis of sources old and new in four languages. It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, and their resolution; it studies the problems of feeding and paying for 250,000 Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the 'undeclared war', and how a strategy was thrashed out. Includes 16 pages of plates. It studies the neglected topic of how the slow and discordant Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blucher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleon's operational plan is analyzed (and Soult's mistakes in executing it). Accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June, and the volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day.1 vol, 736 pgs 2017 UK, GREENHILL BOOKS NEW-dj ......$60.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-214742 Hussey, John WATERLOO: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1815: Volume II: From Waterloo to the Restoration of Peace in Europe The concluding volume of this work provides a fresh description of the climatic battle of Waterloo placed in the context of the whole campaign. It discusses several vexed questions: Blucher's intentions for the battle, Wellington's choice of site, his reasons for placing substantial forces at Hal, the placement of Napoleon's artillery, who authorized the French cavalry attacks, Grouchy's role on 18 and 19 June, Napoleon's own statements on the Garde's formation in the final attack, and the climactic moment when the Prussians reached Wellington's troops near la Belle Alliance. Close attention is paid to the negotiations that led to the capitulation of Paris, and subsequent French claims. The allegations of Las Cases and later historians that Napoleon's surrender to Captain Maitland of the Bellerophon amounted to entrapment are also examined. After a survey of the peace settlement of 1815, the book concludes with a masterly chapter reviewing the whole story of the 1815 campaign.1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, GREENHILL BOOKS NEW-dj ......$53.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Napoleon finally had to accept defeat and was exiled to Elba with a small contingent of his Imperial Guard -- including a squadron of the famous Polish Lancers. This handful of loyal Poles returned with him when he escaped from Elba in 1815 and fought during the 100 Days and at Waterloo. They describe vividly the battles, sieges, the agonies of their final surrender, and the uncertainties surrounding their return home to a very different Poland.

1-197433 Letrun, Ludovic CHASSEURS A CHEVAL: Volume 3 - 1810-1815 (Officers and Soldiers #21) This third part illustrates the last years of the Empire; dark years which will see our 'Chasseurs' being gobbled up during the Russian disaster. Like a lot of regiments, the Chasseurs A Cheval were swallowed up in the Russian disaster. Phantom regiments were reformed with considerable difficulty in 1813 and 1814. During the First Restoration, 15 regiments were formed from the debris of the battles in Prussia and in France -- regiments which then took part in the Belgian Campaign and its epilogue at Waterloo. King Louis VXIII dismissed these 15 regiments on 16 July 1815, but it wasn't until the 18th that the Chasseurs a Cheval reappeared in the Royal Army! During this period there was obviously a whole series of uniform changes.1 vol, 80 pgs 2012 NEW-softcover, available late July 2013 ......$25.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-218600 Limm, Andrew WALCHEREN TO WATERLOO: The British Army in the Low Countries during French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815 The military success achieved by the Duke of Wellington casts a long shadow over the history of the British army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. The popular account of Britain's military record in the great struggle against Napoleonic France is chiefly one of glorious victories, with Britain cast as the savior of Europe from the Corsican 'monster.' Most British historians have focused on retelling stories of British success, notably Wellington's, in Spain, Portugal, and during the Hundred Days campaign and tend to pay little attention to British military defeats. But is the focus on Wellington's successes really an appropriate way to understand the performance of the British army in a conflict which lasted over 20 years? And what about the army's poor record in the Low Countries, where it suffered defeats and sustained crippling losses during the same period? This study provides a more balanced account of the British contribution to the downfall of Napoleon.1 vol, 256 pgs 2018 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available early December 2018 ......$45.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-202970 Lipscombe, Nick WELLINGTON'S GUNS: The Untold Story of Wellington and His Artillery in the Peninsula and at Waterloo Dismissive, conservative and aloof, Wellington treated his artillery with disdain during the Napoleonic Wars - despite their growing influence on the field of battle. Wellington's Guns exposes, for the very first time, the often stormy relationship between Wellington and his artillery, how the reluctance to modernize the British artillery corps threatened to derail the British push for victory and how Wellington's views on the command and appointment structure within the artillery opened up damaging rifts between him and his men. At a time when artillery was undergoing revolutionary changes - from the use of mountain guns during the Pyrenees campaign in the Peninsular, the innovative execution of 'danger-close' missions to clear the woods of Hougomont at Waterloo, to the introduction of creeping barrages and Congreve's rockets - Wellington seemed to remain distrustful of a force that played a significant role in shaping tactics and changing the course of the war. Using extensive research and first-hand accounts, Colonel Nick Lipscombe reveals that despite Wellington's brilliance as a field commander, his abrupt and uncompromising leadership style, particularly towards his artillery commanders, shaped the Napoleonic Wars, and how despite this, the ever-evolving technology and tactics ensured that the extensive use of artillery became one of the hallmarks of a modern army. 1 vol, 472 pgs 2013 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-dj ......$30.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Lyall compiled numerous series of British, Indian, and various European armies and epochs. His works can be found in the large collections of uniforms such as the Anne S. K. Brown Collection, USA. Displays all the arms and important regiments who participated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 in 75 panels. Each unit is treated on one or more panels and with the various degrees of service.

1-218972 Lyall, Charles UNIFORMS OF THE ARMIES AT WATERLOO: Volume 2 - Allied Armies This volume presents the Allied armies of 1815 with Dutch-Belgian, Hanoverian (including the King's German Legion - KGL), Nassau, and Brunswick units. The volume addresses the foreign units that took part in the 1815 campaign in the Netherlands with the Duke of Wellington, whose British Army was presented in the first volume. Along with the Hanoverian units, either as the KGL or as new formations that were created in the Kingdom of Hanover starting in 1813, these were primarily troops from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They consisted not only of the original Dutch but also Belgian units plus a small Nassau contingent. The smallest body of troops was the contingent provided by the Duke of Brunswick. Drawn from authentic sources by the artist Charles James Lyall, one of the classic English uniform artists at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1894 Lyall launched a series of uniform plates on the armies at Waterloo in 1815.

Like in the two previous volumes, the plates by the 19th century artist Charles Lyall are critiqued based on current knowledge of the uniforms, equipment, and weapons. A detailed description of the Prussian forces' organization and uniforms supplements Lyall's illustrations. Two maps from William Siborne's rare atlas facilitate understanding of the course of the Battle of Ligny.

1-218974 Lyall, Charles UNIFORMS OF THE ARMIES AT WATERLOO: Volume 4 - French Army This fourth volume concludes the series on the 'Uniforms of the Armies at Waterloo.' After the previous volumes presented the Allied side, this fourth part deals with its opponents, the French Armee du Nord under the command of Napoleon I. This Northern Army, despite its short existence after Napoleon's return to France's imperial throne, consisted of numerous experienced soldiers from his earlier campaigns, with the caveat that its uniforms did not always comply with regulations due to the army's rapid mobilization. As in the three previous volumes, this evaluates Charles Lyall's uniform plates by using the current knowledge of how the French troops appeared in 1815. Due to the special status attributed to the French Imperial Guard, especially in England, numerous Lyall plates deal with Guard units. However, some of the units depicted had already been disbanded before 1815 but the editors decided to publish them in this volume as well, along with a short commentary. This also provides the order of battle as well as supplementary descriptions of the organization and uniforms of the Northern Army's units deployed in the Netherlands. Finally, the description of the Battle of Waterloo, begun in the first volume and continued in the following volumes, is taken up again and continued until the end with the French retreat from the battlefield. This description is accompanied by two more maps from William Siborne's Atlas to History of the Waterloo Campaign.1 vol, 96 pgs 2022, GERMANY, BERLIN ZINNFIGUREN NEW-pb, available late November 2023 ......$46.00 rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-208290 Mirante, Rand MEDUSA'S HEAD: The Rise and Survival of Joseph Fouche, Inventor of the Modern Police State Hardcover version. Minister of Police Joseph Fouche was universally distrusted, feared, and hated in his time, but was nevertheless considered indispensable. This biography recounts the chameleonic and astonishing career of Napoleon's security chief, who created the modern police state and wielded immense power that threatened the other main organs of government. Fouche was one of the most important, fascinating, and controversial figures of the French Revolution, the First Empire, and the Bourbon Restoration. His roles included a priest-in-training who became a radical Jacobin and de-Christianizer; a regicide who cast a dramatic swing vote for Louis XVI's immediate execution; the grim and remorseless 'Butcher of Lyon' mastermind of the conspiracy that sent Robespierre to the guillotine; and the head of Napoleon's police - privy to everyone's secrets, shaping the media, deploying 10,000 informants in Paris alone, and securing funding from the Empire's casinos and brothels. He was also the enabler of Napoleon's 1799 coup and subsequent repeated betrayer of the Emperor; acting president after Waterloo and traitor to France; Louis XVIII's Minister of Police, in spite of his responsibility for the death of the King's brother; and finally a wealthy but disgraced exile who met an unusual end in Trieste on the Adriatic.1 vol, 300 pgs 2014 US, ARCHWAY PUBLISHING NEW-dj, available late April 2015 ......$20.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

Based on contemporary letters, diaries, and reports, Mollo takes the reader into the heart of the Hussar Brigade in peace and war, depicting its many colorful characters with a sure hand and describing every facet of day-to-day life, in barracks and on the battlefield. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2014 UK, Pen and Sword NEW-softcover, available late March 2014 ......$30.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-212300 Morewood, John WATERLOO GENERAL: The Life, Letters and Mysterious Death of Major General Sir William Ponsonby 1772 - 1815 At the Battle of Waterloo Sir William Ponsonby, a man who the Duke of Wellington stated had 'rendered very brilliant and important services and was an ornament to his profession', was killed by French lancers after leading the Union Brigade (the three Dragoon Regiments of the Royals, Iniskillings, and Scots Greys) in a charge that wrecked a French advance that threatened Wellington with defeat. Sir William was a career soldier who had led his regiment in the decisive charge at the Battle of Salamanca and served with great distinction during the Peninsular War. Yet historians have blamed him because the charge at Waterloo got out of hand. Includes 30 illustrations. Uses family sources, including Sir William's letters, as well as French and German accounts, to restore his reputation and, by shedding new light on the battle, establishes what really happen to him on that fatal afternoon. It is also a biography of a man whose bravery and professionalism distinguished him as one of the outstanding cavalry commanders of the age.1 vol, 280 pgs 2016 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available late August 2016 ......$45.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-202923 Muilwijk, Erwin STANDING FIRM AT WATERLOO This volume deals with the specific role of the Netherlands field army on both days of 17th and 18th June, 1815. In great detail the endeavors, events and the hard fighting of its infantry, cavalry and artillery are described. All this is based on dozens of memoirs by veteran soldiers from Holland, Belgium and Nassau serving together in the Netherlands field army. Their own words lavishly illustrate and enliven the text. The history presented in this volume adds to the knowledge on the 1815 campaign and the Battle of Waterloo, and shall change the perception on the Netherlands field army. Its men fought brave, showed courage and ultimately firmly stood their ground. In various chapters this history amongst other shows the important role of Prince Frederik's army corps in the preconceived position south of Halle, while the troops at Waterloo were engaged in battle under the command of Wellington and the Prince of Orange. Sappers cleared the road behind the battlefield to ensure a steady flow of reserve ammunition from Brussels. The infantry brigade of General van Bijlandt was already in cover behind the reverse slope, well before the French grand battery opened fire and Comte d'Erlon's army corps attacked the position. Throughout the entire battle the Nassau battalion commanded by Captain Busgen formed a vital part of the defense force of Hougoumont. The light cavalry of General Ghigny made several charges on the left wing, after the British cavalry regiments were thrown back in disorder. Colonel von Sachsen-Weimar's Nassau soldiers fought a skirmish battle for the farms of Papelotte and La Haye and the Smohain hamlet, that changed hands during the battle. The exact circumstances how the Prince of Orange was wounded are presented. And finally the role of General Chasse and his troops is presented in the final stages of the battle, when the Garde Imperiale attacks. Chasse's men were not directly involved, but nonetheless immediately took part in the pursuit at the end of the battle. In several sidebars this history also examines topics that could not be incorporated in the main narrative, but are nonetheless worthwhile to present. These include the death of General van Merlen, how a single lieutenant recaptured Charleroi on 19th June, who escorted the thousands of French prisoners to Brussels during the battle, whether or not Napoleon used the observatory tower, examples of surgery during the battle, and much more.1 vol, 240 pgs 2014 NETHERLANDS, SOVEREIGN HOUSE BOOKS NEW-softcover ......$30.00 ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-241660 North, Jonathan THE DEATH OF JOACHIM MURAT: 1815 and the Unfortunate Fate of One of Napoleon's Marshals In 1808, Napoleon appointed Joachim Murat king of Naples as a loyal ally until, in 1814, with Napoleon beaten and in retreat towards ruin and exile, he chose to betray their imperial relation and dramatically switched sides. A year later, he fled his kingdom, but Napoleon had not forgiven him and after Waterloo, the restored Bourbons were offering a reward for Murat's head. In September 1815, he set off and what happened next forms the core of this part-tragic, part-ridiculous story and a lesson in how not to stage a coup. Just five days after landing in Calabria, King Joachim was hauled before a firing squad and executed.

1-227520 Reid, Stuart EGYPT 1801: The End of Napoleon's Eastern Empire Covers the 1798 French expedition led by Bonaparte to seize Egypt and consolidate French influence in the Mediterranean, plus open up a direct route to Indian and provide an opportunity to destroy the East India Company and fatally weaken Great Britain. Bonaparte returned to France to mount a coup which would eventually see him installed as Emperor of the French, but behind him he abandoned his army, which remained in control of Egypt, still posing a possible threat to the East India Company, until in 1801 a large but rather heterogeneous British Army led by Sir Ralph Abercrombie landed and in a series of hard-fought battles utterly defeated the French. The first campaign medal awarded to British soldiers is reckoned to be that given to those men who fought at Waterloo in 1815, but a decade and a half earlier a group of regiments were awarded a unique badge -- a figure of a Sphinx -- to mark their service in Egypt in 1801. It was a fitting distinction, for the successful campaign was a remarkable one, fought far from home by a British army which had so far not distinguished itself in battle against Revolutionary France, and one moreover which had the most profound consequences in the Napoleonic wars to come.1 vol, 248 pgs 2021 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, available late July 2021 ......$43.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-203870 Riley, Jonathon 1813: EMPIRE AT BAY: The Sixth Coalition and the Downfall of Napoleon 1813 was a critical year in the world war that ended with the downfall of Napoleon. In a series of major battles, the converging armies of the Sixth Coalition drove the French forces back. This was the year in which the balance of power tipped decisively against Napoleon's First Empire. This book covers the operations in central Europe and Spain, where the allies broke French power, humbled Napoleon, and laid the foundations for the Congress of Vienna and the European settlement that endured for the next fifty years. In particular, he focuses on the operation of the Sixth Coalition - Austria, Prussia, Russia, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, and the smaller German states. This was the prototype of all uneasy modern coalitions, with their troubled command relationships, disagreements on strategy and operations, and clashing political ambitions. At the same time, he reassesses the performance of Napoleon himself who was also an alliance commander, for his armies included not only Frenchmen but also Poles, Danes, Italians, Germans, and a host of other contingents. In graphic detail he covers the 1813 campaigns, which have received less attention than those of 1812 and 1814/15 in spite of the fact that all the decisive moments came in 1813 - save for one: Waterloo. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2013 UK, PEN AND SWORD NEW-dj ......$50.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-207750 Simms, Brendan THE LONGEST AFTERNOON: The 400 Men Who Decided the Battle of Waterloo An account of the 400 heroic Hanoverians fighting under the English flag who held the line at Waterloo. Neither commander at Waterloo could have predicted that the battle would be decided by the Second Light Battalion, King's German Legion, which was given the deceptively simple task of defending the Haye Sainte farmhouse, a crucial crossroads on the way to Brussels. The book recounts how these 400-odd riflemen beat back wave after wave of French infantry until finally forced to withdraw, but only after holding up Napoleon for so long that he lost the overall contest. Their actions alone decided the most influential battle in European history. Drawing on previously untapped eye-witness reports for accurate and vivid details of the course of the battle, Simms captures the grand choreography and pervasive chaos of Waterloo: the advances and retreats, the death and the maiming, the heroism and the cowardice. He describes the gallant fighting spirit of the French infantrymen, who clambered over the bodies of their fallen comrades as they assaulted the heavily fortified farmhouse - and whose bravery was only surpassed by that of their opponents in the Second Light Battalion. Motivated by opposition to Napoleonic tyranny, dynastic loyalty to the King of England, German patriotism, regimental camaraderie, personal bonds of friendship, and professional ethos, the battalion suffered terrible casualties and fought tirelessly for many long hours, but refused to capitulate or retreat until the evening, by which time the Prussians had arrived on the battlefield in large numbers. In reorienting Waterloo around the Haye Sainte farmhouse, Simms gives us a riveting new account of the famous battle-an account that reveals, among other things, that Napoleon came much closer than is commonly thought to winning it. A heroic tale of 400 soldiers who changed the course of history, The Longest Afternoon will become an instant classic of military history. 1 vol, 208 pgs 2015 US, BASIC BOOKS NEW-dj, available late March 2015 ......$25.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-193190 Sinclair, Joseph Soldier of the Seventy-First: From De La Plata to Waterloo 1806-1815 This remarkable memoir was first published in Edinburgh in 1819 and has withstood the test of time. One cannot improve on Sir Charles Oman's description of the book as: 'the work of a man of superior education, who had enlisted in a moment of pique and humiliation to avoid facing at home the consequences of his own conceit and folly. The author wrote from the ranks, yet was so different in education and mental equipment from his comrades that he does not take their vies and habits for granted'. The reader receives the narrative of an intelligent observer, describing the behavior of his regiment as it traveled the globe. His account covers Whitelock's disastrous South American adventure in 1806, the Peninsular War, the Walcheren Expedition and the Battle of Waterloo. For the first time, Joseph Sinclair has been unmasked as the author of the memoir, thanks to new research work by Stuart Reid.1 vol, 160 pgs 2010 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

In 1807, the contingent formed the III/4th Rheinbund Saxon Duchies Regiment that fought in the Tyrol (1809), the Peninsular War (1810-11), near Vilnius in 1812 and the defense of Danzig (1813).

1-243230 Thompson, Paul THE BRITISH CHEER: Psychological Warfare in the Napoleonic Era Suggests that the British Cheer wielded genuine power as a true 'weapon of war.' Surveys the history of acclamations in battle worldwide and British battle-cries from all periods before addressing the question of what the British Cheer actually sounded like. Issues of acoustics, physics, and the psychology of battlefield morale are considered, along with commentaries from significant military scholars throughout history. Examination of the Napoleonic-era Cheer then reveals the practically invincible 'recipe' of volley-cheer-charge that propelled the British Army to victory upon victory. Comparison is drawn with French and other national patterns of vocalizing, along with analysis of those occasions when the Cheer might be suppressed. Finally, the attitude of the Duke of Wellington toward cheering is reconsidered. Examines from the Mahratta wars in India, through campaigns in Egypt, the Mediterranean, Flanders, the Caribbean and South America, as well as the war of 1812. The Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns feature prominently.

2-34630 Uffindell, Andrew EAGLE'S LAST TRIUMPH: Napoleon's Victory at Ligny Napoleon won his final victory on 16th June 1815 at Ligny, shortly before suffering a crushing defeat at Waterloo. Facing two enemy armies - under Wellington and Blucher - he aimed his main attack against Blucher's Prussians at Ligny and diverted Wellington's attention by engaging his forward elements at Quatre Bras. The Eagle's Last Triumph provides an examination of these neglected early campaigns, with a description of the fighting and eyewitness testimony. The author shows just how close Napoleon came to winning a crushing victory at the start of the campaign. He also shows Blucher was unhorsed and nearly captured in the evening of Ligny - and how this could have had a decisive impact on subsequent events.

As first a light infantryman and then a light cavalryman, Vandeleur was frequently on the outposts of Wellington's forces, in frequent contact with the French and often obliged to live a rough-and-ready lifestyle as a result. The conditions that he endured, and the camaraderie that sustained him, are vividly recounted in this fascinating collection - previously only available in an extremely rare private publication over a century ago. Enhanced with contemporary documents, and with expert editing and commentary by Andrew Bamford, this is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2015 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, available late June 2015 ......$40.00 discount: :15% ..see our NAPOLEONIC page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

1-206590 Rooney, David SURRENDER AT NEW ORLEANS: General Sir Harry Smith in the Peninsula and America General Sir Harry Smith won the lifelong respect and affection of the Duke of Wellington while serving in the Peninsula War. With the French defeated, Harry left with the British expedition to America in 1814, and witnessed the burning of the White House. The fiery Admiral Cochrane raged bitterly 'I am sorry you left a house standing in Washington - depend on it, it is a mistaken mercy.' Later, Harry joined Wellington's brother-in-law, Ned Pakenham, in the invasion of Louisiana. On 8 January 1815, they attacked General Jackson's well prepared positions protecting New Orleans. A resounding defeat for the British, in which Pakenham was killed, it fell to Harry to take part in the surrender to General Jackson, and then to convey the dismal news to London. Approaching England, he heard the dramatic news of Napoleon's escape, which led to Harry's breathtaking experience at Waterloo. The book covers the extraordinary lives of Harry and wife Juana, including their achievements and legacy in South Africa, and Harry's model victory in India in 1846, which made him a hero to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.1 vol, 224 pgs 2014 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-softcover ......$25.00 discount: :15% ..see our WAR OF 1812 page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

The Crimean War was the first major European war since the end of the Napoleonic Wars and Britain's only war on that continent in the century between Waterloo and WWI.

In this compelling and meticulously researched study, Ian Fletcher and Natalia Ishchenko reconstruct the battle in vivid detail, using many rare and unpublished eyewitness accounts from all sides - English, French and Russian. Their groundbreaking work promises to be the definitive history of this extraordinary clash of arms for many years to come.

1-213560 McCarthy, Michael CONFEDERATE WATERLOO: The Battle of Five Forks, April 1, 1865, and the Controversy that Brought Down a General The Battle of Five Forks broke the long siege of Petersburg, triggered the evacuation of Richmond, precipitated the Appomattox Campaign, and destroyed the careers and reputations of two generals. Includes 55 images and 10 maps. General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had been locked into the sprawling defenses surrounding the logistical stronghold of Petersburg and the Southern capital at Richmond for more than eight months when General Grant struck beyond his far left flank to break the extended Rebel lines. A series of battles led up to April 1, when General Phil Sheridan's forces struck at Five Forks. The attack surprised and collapsed General George Pickett's Confederate command and turned Lee's right flank. An attack along the entire front the following morning broke the siege and forced the Virginia army out of its defenses and, a week later, into Wilmer McLean's parlor to surrender at Appomattox. Despite this decisive Union success, Five Forks spawned one of the most bitter and divisive controversies in the postwar army when Sheridan relieved Fifth Corps commander Gouverneur K. Warren for perceived failures connected to the battle. The order generated a life-long effort by Warren and his allies to restore his reputation by demonstrating that Sheridan's action was both unfair and dishonorable. The struggle climaxed with a Court of Inquiry that generated a more extensive record of testimony and exhibits than any other US military judicial case in the 19th Century. In addition to Sheridan and Warren, participants included Generals U. S. Grant and Winfield S. Hancock, and a startling aggregation of former Confederate officers.1 vol, 336 pgs 2017 US, SAVAS BEATIE NEW-dj, available mid March 2017 ......$33.00 discount: :15% ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart

2-201020 Fermer, Douglas SEDAN 1870: The Eclipse of France The Franco-Prussian War was a turning point in the history of nineteenth-century Europe, and the Battle of Sedan was the pivotal event in that war. For the Germans their overwhelming victory symbolized the birth of their nation, forged in steel and tempered in the blood of the common enemy. For the French it was a defeat more complete and humiliating than Waterloo. Douglas Fermer's fresh study of this traumatic moment in European history reconsiders how the mutual fear and insecurity of two rival nations tempted their governments to seek a solution to domestic tensions by waging war against each other. His compelling narrative shows how war came about, and how the dramatic campaign of summer 1870 culminated in a momentous clash of arms at Sedan. He gives fascinating insights into the personalities and aims of the politicians and generals involved, but focuses too on the experiences of ordinary soldiers and civilians.1 vol, 256 pgs 2016 UK, PEN AND SWORD NEW-pb ......$25.00 discount: :15% ..see our FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-209420 Whitburn, Bill BRIGHT EYES OF DANGER: An Account of the Anglo-Sikh Wars 1845-1849 Details the seven battles and one siege of Britain's two wars with the Sikhs. Includes 80 illustrations with eight pages in color and eight pages of color maps. The first battle was brought on by the demise of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the machinations of palace officials and rapacity of the Sikh Army. Despite traitors in command, the Sikhs gave the invincible British Army a run for its money. The Battle of Ferozeshah was a closer run thing than Waterloo as the British Indian Empire stood at the brink of disaster. At the close of the first war, many expected a British annexation of the Punjab. Yet Governor-General Sir Henry Hardinge, mindful of British public opinion and deeming the Sikh real estate too large and expensive to hold, opted instead for a quasi-independent Sikh State. In deference to the parsimonious East India Company Directors in London, he charged the Sikh State war reparations, annexed the most productive province of Jullundar, and sold Kashmir to the 'biggest scoundrel in India' for 75,000 pounds. The second war erupted with a rebellion at Multan and the British Army advanced to battle with a new Governor-General and the same Commander-in-Chief, Lord Gough, whose catalogue of tactics did not extend beyond the awesome charge of British bayonets. This was not enough at the bloody onslaught of Chillianwala, where both sides fought to a stand still. At Gujerat Lord Gough, with a greater number of guns than Wellington had at Waterloo, crushed the Sikhs into submission and the Governor-General, Lord Dalhousie, annexed the Punjab. Having rocked the British Indian Empire at Ferozeshah, Ranjit Singh's soldiers helped save it during the Great Indian Mutiny, and later in both the World Wars.1 vol, 0 pgs 2015 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-hardcover ......$80.00 discount: :15% ..see our COLONIAL page for more books on this subject	Add to Cart
1-219010 Samuel, Mardsen THE GERMAN ARMOURED CRUISER SMS BLUCHER The SMS Blucher was the last armored cruiser built by the German Empire. She was constructed to counter the new armored cruisers rumored as being built by the British. Blucher was larger than preceding armored cruisers and carried heavier guns but was unable to match the size and armament of the battlecruisers which replaced armored cruisers in the British Royal Navy and - later - the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine). When the Germans learned of the true details of these new British ships, called Invincible class, and that they were to be armored with 12-inch battleship guns, they realized that the Invincible class was a completely new type of warship, soon to be known as battlecruisers. By the time the Germans learned of this it was too late to turn back and construction of the Blucher took place as scheduled. The ship was named after the Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard von Blucher, the commander of the Prussian forces at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
