the Prussian army of 1813–1815 was very different not only in appearance
but in spirit from that of 1806. Blücher was essentially a cavalryman and,
despite his years and heavy responsibilites as Commander-in-Chief, he thought
nothing of leading cavalry charges in person. Although this was dangerous, he
succeeded in driving his raw regiments to to victory. this book by a leading
military historian analyses the corps, regimental and squadron strength of the
infantry, cavalry and artillery arms of Blücher’s army. The text is accompanied
by eight colour plates and several contemporary illustrations to depict the
uniforms and experiences of the troops who participated in the final defeat of
Napoleon. Contents: Introduction * Organisation * The Leaders *
Cavalry * Infantry * Artillery and Pioneers * A Miscellany *
Colour plates by Michael Roffe.
