Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE PARAGUAYAN WAR: Armies of the Nineteenth Century:The Americas (Armies of the 19th Century: The Americas) (Hardcover)
Terry Hooker has produced the definitive book on the armies of the Paraguayan War (aka: War of the Triple Alliance, Lopez War). First what it is not: this is not a comprehensive history of the war and the participants. Hooker states at the beginning that he is writing a purely military book. In that he succeeds brilliantly. There are decent maps, numerous orders of battle, very useful battle descriptions, descriptions of arms, equipment and organization and several hundred line drawings and uniform descriptions.
For anyone interested in wargaming this period, Hooker's book is all you will ever need. For those individuals interested in the period or the war in particular, this is an indispensable companion to any of the available general histories. |
