1-236902

Hardback illustrated on nearly every page. A detailed overview of the history, organization, uniforms, weapons, and flags of the Russian Army during the years 1796-1815. In 1806 and 1807, Napoleon invaded Poland and fought two major pitched battles against the Russians. Russia's participation in the anti-British 'Continental Blockade' organized by Napoleon was never more than halfhearted, leading to the infamous 1812 invasion. During 1813-1814 the Russian Army was the leading component of the allied forces that liberated Germany and invaded France.
