Book excerpt: The horse soldier at war in the Napoleonic Age This unique two-in-one Leonaur volume, enhanced by illustrations depicting the uniforms of the period, has been created for good value and will be fascinating to all students of tactics in the Napoleonic Wars. It focuses on the organisation and practices in the field of European cavalry of the early nineteenth century. Each author considers the mounted arm from the perspective of his own army and enables easy comparisons to be made between the activities and methods of opposing forces. Antoine de Brack's work is well known and highly regarded. De Brack was the consummate cavalryman serving Napoleon and, on the restoration of the monarchy, in the French army of the Bourbons. A highly experienced officer, de Brack served in the hussars and as one of the famous 'Red Lancers' of the Imperial Guard on many campaigns including at Waterloo; he later became the commander of the renowned French Army school of cavalry at Saumur. Frederick von Arentschildt's was Lt. Colonel of the First Regiment of Hussars of the King's German Legion and his name will be familiar to students of Wellington's campaigns in the Iberian peninsula. At a time when British cavalry was considered to be an unreliable and undisciplined part of the army, often unmanageable on the field of battle, Arentschildt's Hanoverian cavalrymen earned a high reputation for their discipline, horse-husbandry and effectiveness. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cavalry Outpost Duties The adoption and utilization as far as possible, by the Germans, of the instructions given by de Brack, and the entire forgetfulness of them by the French, are sufficient to account for the many displays of useless gallantry on the part of the latter, and the only partial successes of the former, from the American point of view, in the franco-prussian War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives the reader a straightforward and continuous survey of the history of the French Foreign Legion.

Many useful details have been necessarily omitted in this little manual, written in haste sixteen years after the close of the war and in my complete isolation from books of reference and counsels of every kind. Many things have been repeated because, in such a subject, there is so close a relation existing between the various parts that by the mere mention of one, through the association of ideas, many others are brought to mind. However, I do not consider this repetition a fau

Download or read book 1805 Austerlitz written by Robert Goetz and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth study of The Battle of Austerlitz, considered Napoleon’s greatest victory, won the Napoleon Foundation’s History Grand Prize. Sometimes called The Battle of Three Emperors, Napoleon’s victory against the combined forces of Russia and Austria brought a decisive end to The War of the Third Coalition. The magnitude of the French achievement against a larger army was met by sheer amazement and delirium in Paris, where just days earlier the nation had been teetering on the brink of financial collapse. In 1805: Austerlitz, historian Robert Goetz demonstrates how Napoleon and his Grande Armée of 1805 defeated a formidable professional army that had fought the French armies on equal terms five years earlier. Goetz analyses the planning of the opposing forces and details the course of the battle hour by hour, describing the fierce see-saw battle around Sokolnitz, the epic struggle for the Pratzen Heights, the dramatic engagement between the legendary Lannes and Bagration in the north, and the widely misunderstood clash of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard and Alexander’s Imperial Leib-Guard. Goetz’s detailed and balanced assessment of the battle exposes many myths that have been perpetuated and even embellished in other accounts.
Download or read book Wellington Against Soult written by David Buttery and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-07-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of David Butterys third book on the Peninsular War lies the comparison between two great commanders of enormous experience and reputation Arthur Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, and Jean de Dieu Soult. In Soult, Wellesley met one of his most formidable opponents and they confronted each other during one of the most remarkable, and neglected, of the Peninsular campaigns. Soults invasion of Portugal is rarely studied in great depth and, likewise, the offensive Wellesley launched, which defeated and expelled the French, has also received scant coverage. As well as giving a fresh insight into the contrasting characters of the two generals, the narrative offers a gripping and detailed, reconstruction of the organization and experience of a military campaign 200 years ago.
