This is a ground-breaking study from the renowned author Digby Smith, highlighting a part of the Peninsular War that has received scant attention - the German units who fought in Napoleon's army. The book is a detailed study of their campaign service, fascinating because it concentrates on small engagements and skirmishes (great for wargamers!). The book is enhanced by original colour maps, uniform and flag details and in particular 16 absolutely superb colour plates by Bob Marrion. Illustrated.
