About this product

Product Information

This superb and comprehensive book details the foreign units which formed such an important part of Napoleon's forces. It examines each non-French unit in turn, giving an overview of the unit's origins, its organisational and combat history, its uniforms and standards, and details of the unit's eventual fate. Colourful accounts, taken from contemporary reports and memoirs, emphasize the qualities of the unit and throw light on what life was like for many of the foreign soldiers recruited into the Grande Armee. In total more than 100 different foreign units that served in the French Army are investigated in detail in this ambitious publication. Some foreign units fought and flourished throughout the Consulate and Empire, whilst others lasted for just a few months. Covers Polish, German, Swiss, Italian, Spanish, and other units in the French Army and presents a combat history and details uniforms for each regiment. Napoleon's Mercenaries is the best single-volume study of this aspect of Napoleon's army and a vital reference for every Napoleonic enthusiast. AUTHOR: Guy Dempsey is a banking lawyer by profession, but has had a life-long interest in Napoleonic military history, with an emphasis on working with primary sources. He is the author of a number of authoritative works including Albuera 1811: The Bloodiest Battle of the Peninsular War. SELLING POINTS: . A superb reference book on Napoleon's foreign troops. . Covers Polish, German, Swiss, Italian, Spanish and other units in the French Army. . Presents a combat history and uniform details of each regiment. REVIEWS: Little can be found on the foreign units that were an integral part of the French army ... For a long time a gap has existed, but now Napoleon's Mercenaries fills this gap. - Robert Burnham, Napoleonic Series Illustrated with a central plate section

Excellent artwork
If your a fan of beautiful art this book is fantastic. The plates are a pure gem of Napoleonic Polish military art. If on the other hand you're a wargamer looking for uniform details give it a miss. I was looking for info on the Vistula Legion, what a disappointment ! Practically zero on a famous Polish military formation. Big let down. Save your cash and keep looking, this publication will not be a good investment.
