French Napoleonic Infantry Tactics 1792–1815

“This is superbly illustrated by Peter Dennis, who provides an excellent series of diagrams of some of the more famous battles to go along with the descriptions of these events. Period illustrations are also included as are modern day photos of the various battlefields. In all, a book that draws you in and one that I found to be especially interesting. I know you will as well. Overall another superlative Osprey book and one that is both an interesting and enjoyable read. I’m sure you will agree.” –Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (January 2008)

“Paddy Griffith’s French Napoleonic Infantry Tactics 1792-1815 covers the history of Bonaparte’s Grande Armee, surveying tactics and using original drill manuals and writing to discuss French infantry organization and strategy.” –The California Bookwatch (January 2008)
