About This Item
Osprey Pub Co, 2004. New book, 64 pages, ELI116. Following Elite 115 - which described the composition of Napoleon's military and civil 'households', and Marshal Berthier's army general headquarters - this title offers an intimate glimpse of the Emperor's entourage in the field. Centred on the Waterloo campaign in 1815, it draws comparisons with his earlier triumphs. From the testimony of his trusted servants, the text draws a vivid picture of his daily routines on the march. Of particular interest are new details of Napoleon's tented camp HQ from 1812; and a further selection of the striking uniforms worn by his closest attendants. Contents: Integration of military and civil Households within the Great and Small Headquarters - Organisation and functions of the Great Headquarters - Organisation and functions of the Small Headquarters - The Major General (chief of the general staff), Marshal Berthier - Berthiers staff departments - Communications - The evidence of soldiers.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Courcelle, Patrice. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
