The First Empire is responsible for giving us the most lasting picture we have of the Hussars. This volume deals with the Hussars (from the 9th to the 14th Regiment) for the period 1804-1812. There is a chapter given over to the 1812 Regulations which fixed the broad outlines and the 6 regiments are analyzed, together with the uniforms worn between 1812 and 1818.Andre' Jouineau, figurines maker and collector, works with Histoire and Collections for more than 16 years. His uniforms plates, which have been fully carried out using data processing, have made him a pioneer in this field. He is the illustrator of the magazine Figurines and books such as Jena-Auerstaedt or Les Chasseurs d'Afrique. Jean-Marie Mongin, previous chief editor of Uniformes and Tradition Magazine, puts all his knowledge in military history writing these drawing texts and captions. Both are also authors of French Hussars (Vol. 1 and 2), American Civil War (Vol. 1 and 2), and French Imperial Guard (Vol. 1, 2, 3 and 4) stemming from the same series. Unifom lovers, history and strategy fanatics as well as figurines makers. returncharacterreturncharacter returncharacterreturncharacter REVIEWS returncharacterreturncharacter..".very concise, well written book detailing the French Hussar units... would be an invaluable informational source for both war gamers and historical miniature painters."IPMS# 45732, 01/2008..". inexpensive yet valuable reference. ...the level of detail will satisfy even the most intrepid artist."Internet Modeler 01/2008

Officers and Soldiers of the French Hussars 1804-1815, Volume 3
Three stars because this is the second edition, published in 1989, and there's been much intervening scholarship. (Also Germany has been reunited, obviating the need to speak of West German historians vs. East German historians.) This is a dense (though not terribly long) work of Third Reich historiography, not history, so I wouldn't recommend it to a casual history reader unless they really want to know about the Historikerstreit, for example. Kershaw examines some of the ways historians look at the Third Reich: is it a form of fascism, a brand of totalitarianism, or a unique phenomenon? (That's one chapter heading.) Was Hitler the master of the Third Reich, or a weak dictator? (That's another.) Was Nazi foreign policy fully intentional, or more hapless? Ought we to look at the Holocaust as something situated in history, or something so awful that historiography can't properly explain it and we need to resort to moral terminology? All of these things historians of the Third Reich have had to grapple with, and still do more than two decades after the book's publication.
I intend to take up many of Kershaw's suggestions for further reading. Even though they're 24 years old.
