Napoleon's Enemies - Richard Warner
A lavish guide to the campaign histories, uniforms, weapons and equipment of the armies who fought against Napoleon and ultimately defeated him. The text is exceptionally well illustrated with over 200 pictures, including 100 original colour paintings of uniformed soldiers of the following units: The Russian Army, The Cossacks, The Austrian and Hungarian Army, Blucher’s Army, The King’s German Legion, The Black Brunswickers, and several British regiments — Black Watch, Coldstream Guards, Royal Scots Greys, The Buffs, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, The King’s Regiment, and the Royal Artillery. These illustrations are by some of Britain’s best-known uniform illustrators and provide a splendid, wide-ranging reference for military enthusiasts, modelers, and war-gamers.
The text contains enough background history to provide a general introduction to the Napoleonic Wars from 1804 to 1815, with the major campaigns and engagements graphically described. The bulk of the narrative, however, is given over toa description of the army organisations, uniform, and equipment of the soldiers of the allied and expatriate armies. As David Chandler brings out in his foreword, it was the combination of their ability and strength, not the effort of any single nation, which defeated Napoleon in the end.
