A snap shot of the Guard,
By Richard P Marsden (Scottsdale, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imperial Guardsman 1799-1815 (Warrior) (Paperback)
Haythornthwaite has a long name, but writes wonderfully concise short books for the Napoleonic fan. "Imperial Guardsman" covers the various duties and formations of the Imperial Guard as well as looking at the more statistical information such as numbers, pay, equipment etc. The included color pictures bring to life the author's work which is, as is his custom, not so much entertaining as it is strictly informative. Very little detail is given over to the "glory" of the Guard, and much more attention is given to the hard facts about them. The work is short and so one will not get bored reading it. Haythornthwaite has mastered the art of conveying statistical information in this quick but incredibly informative book.
