The final book in a four-volume illustrated series from two established experts which looks in detail at the uniforms of the elite cavalry troops of Emperor Napoleon the First's Imperial Guard - from Marengo to Waterloo. In this new volume, Napoleon's late period cavalry troops - those that he hoped would make his Imperial Guard the model for a great European army - are all illustrated in over 50 pages of colour plates: gendarmes; honour guards; horse artillery; and Lithuanian tartars. Their rich and various uniforms, their flags, insignia and equipment are all recreated in over 50 pages of full colour plates using the very latest computer graphic technology. There is always a huge market for Napoleonic uniform books - modellers, wargamers, uniform collectors, strategists.
