The Russian Imperial Army 1796-1917
The best thing about the series of Osprey titles on Napoleon's cavalry (Cuirassiers & Carabiniers, Dragoons & Lancers, Hussars, Chasseurs) are the wonderful uniform plates by the late Angus McBride, which reach just the right balance of naturalism, clarity and expression. McBride is (in my opinion) by far the best of the illustrators to have worked on this series.
Bukhari's text follows the pattern of other books he wrote for Arms & Armour, a rundown of uniform developments followed by potted unit histories. Though fascinating reads for their time (first released in mid-1970's) much of the factual information can be easily found elsewhere nowadays.
Where the books really fall down is the lack of coverage of the Revolutionary War period, Bukhari and McBride jumping in at 1803. This is a great shame, as Napoleonic uniforms developed from the wars of the 1790's.
