1-192460

The Russian infantry was formed from serfs who were conscripted into its ranks, but despite this humble beginning, the Russian infantryman was renown all over Europe for his endurance and courage in battle.

This book looks at the appearance of the Russian infantryman during the Napoleonic Wars by using not only well-established sources, like A V Viskovatov's Historical Description of the Clothing and Arms of the Russian Army, but also some of the latest research.
