THE IMPERIAL GUARD OF THE FIRST EMPIRE - 1. THE FOOT SOLDIERS
André JOUINEAU
Jean-Marie MONGIN
The Imperial Guard, this glorious phalanx, the result of all the attention of Emperor Napoleon I, is a form of a small army within the "Grand Army"... This study of its organization, as well as its uniforms and equipment, is taken to its highest degree here.
Volume 1: Discover the uniforms, equipment, and weaponry of all the "Grognards," the ultimate recourse, launched into battle at the decisive moment. Developing the concepts of organization in Old, Middle, and Young Guards, the illustrator-researcher André Jouineau presents here the general colonels, grenadiers, foot hunters, fusiliers, vélites, flankers, pupils, veterans, workers, sappers, doctors, podestats, and other foot artillerymen; while in the second volume of this panorama, we will await the centaurs of the Guard's Cavalry. This practical tool, compact, precise, clear, logical, and visual, a true vade mecum for lovers of imperial history, is intended for enthusiasts of imperial history as well as figurine enthusiasts.
This work is the completely redesigned, revised, amended, and greatly expanded new version - nearly 50% new characters are introduced - of the book published several years ago by the authors. Over nearly 176 pages, a thousand drawings elaborate on the insights of these two specialists of the period.
