The Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (2)Cavalry\nAuthor(s): Philip Haythornthwaite, Bryan Fosten\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Osprey Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780850457469, 978-0850457469\nSynopsis\nDuring the Napoleonic era, Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry, forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies.\n\nThis 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.\n\nThis 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.
