The Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (2): Cavalry Paperback - 1987

by Philip Haythornthwaite; Bryan Fosten (Illustrator)


From the publisher

During the Napoleonic era, Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry, forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies. This stemmed partly from their service against the Turks, who had huge numbers of troops, and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 185 examines the organisation, tactics and uniforms of the Russian cavalry during this dynamic and turbulent period, covering Cuirassiers, Dragoons, Hussars, Uhlans, Mounted Jgers and the Lifeguard, as well as the Opolchenie militia and Cossacks.

First line

The first title in the Men-at-Arms series concerning the Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (Infantry: MAA 185) covers the character and essence of the Czar's army, and many of those comments are equally relevant to the cavalry, in the recruitment, character and conditions of service.
