The Napoleonic Guide

There is certainly no shortage of photos of objects, parts of surviving uniforms, helmets, shakos, breastplates, exhibited in various museums around the world, as well as reproductions of paintings (unfortunately often depicting unknown officers) that faithfully portray the uniforms of the time. This therefore provides a volume of absolute value not only for the historian, but also for the reenactor and the uniformology enthusiast, creating a unique book that cannot be missed on the shelves of Napoleonic Wars enthusiasts.

On The Old Barbed Wire

This is extensive as well and makes the book a must have for any military library. If the subject is of any interest to you, this is a must have! What more can I say?

Napoleonic Historical Society - reviewed by Todd Fisher

Overall, I think this is an impressive undertaking in terms of the research performed. It can be overwhelming in terms of presentation, so treat it as an encyclopaedia to dip into as required. Otherwise it is a worthwhile addition to any library on the Napoleonic period.

Featured 'ON THE BOOK SHELF' by Neil Smith

Wargames Illustrated, October 2019

Yet another superb volume from Paul Dawson banishing for ever debates on the uniforms and equipment of the French Army at Waterloo. As before in his expert examination of the Guard Infantry and Guard Cavalry his primary sources are impeccable, and colour photographs of uniforms currently in museums (and their provenance) is excellent. Highly recommended. (Get the set, you cannot go wrong if you want certainty about the French Napoleonic Army).
