Description: Product InformationThough less celebrated than the infantry and cavalry, Napoleon's 'specialist' troops - artillery, engineers and supporting services - were indispensable elements without which no army could have operated, and frequently assumed greater significance than the line regiments. Indeed, having suffered least from the emigration of Royalist officers, the artillery was the best element of the early Republican armies, the nucleus of the old Royal artillery serving with distinction in the early campaigns such as Valmy. The organisation and uniform of Napoleon's specialist troops are here examined by Philip Haythornwaite in a engaging volume complemented by a wealth of illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Bryan Fosten.Product IdentifiersPublisher Bloomsbury Publishing USAISBN-10 0850458412ISBN-13 9780850458411Product Key FeaturesBook Title Napoleon's Specialist TroopsAuthor Philip HaythornthwaiteFormat Trade PaperbackLanguage EnglishTopic Europe / France, Military / General, HistoricalPublication Year 1988Genre Biography & Autobiography, HistoryNumber of Pages 48 PagesDimensionsItem Length 9.8in.Item Height 0.1in.Item Width 7.2in.Item Weight 5.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesSeries Volume Number 199Table of Content Artillery · Engineers · Supply and Commissariat Imperial Guard Artillery · Medical Services · The PlatesIllustrated by Bryan FostenCopyright Date 1988Target Audience TradeSeries MEN-AT-ARMSIllustrated Yes
