The Napoleonic Wars saw almost two decades of brutal fighting, from the frozen wastelands of Russia to the wildness of the Peninsula; from Egypt's Lower Nile to the bloody battlefield of Waterloo. Fighting took place on an unprecedented scale across Europe, and over the entire period of the wars Napoleon led his Grand Armée and his allies against almost every European nation, and against varying coalitions. This book provides a comprehensive guide to all the major armies of the Napoleonic Wars, of France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Spain and Portugal. Covering the changes experienced by the armies over the period, the author details the organization, infantry, cavalry, and artillery of each. With stunning original artwork of the often glorious uniforms worn into battle, period illustrations or the equipment used, and photographs, this is a beautiful and in-depth study of the armies that fought in the Napoleonic campaigns.

reviewed Armies of the Napoleonic Wars: Their uniforms, equipment and battles on May 10, 2020 Armies of the Napoleonic Wars
This decently sized book of 425 pages, not including the index, is really a compendium of Osprey Publishing titles dealing with Soldiers' uniforms, equipment, organization, and some tactics from the Napoleonic Wars. While the "donor" books to this work probably average 35 pages like most titles in Osprey's Man-of-War series, the size of this one allowed the editor, Chris McNab, to really mine the best content out of numerous smaller books. This work not only provides the best macro overview of Napoleonic Soldiers I have ever read, but from an aesthetic standpoint continues Osprey's tradition of using detailed, cited research to produce truly beautiful color plates throughout this book. As each country's forces were analyzed, the authors included a great deal of information and color graphics of key material and not just Soldier's uniforms. To my great delight, this frequently ended up being descriptions and illustrations of a belligerent's Field Artillery pieces, accoutrements, and "systems" or doctrine in modern parlance. I highly recommend this book for any serious student of 19th Military History, students of military history in general, and especially for any Napoleonic War aficionados out there. This is truly a great read that is just packed with beautiful illustrations and great information.
