Critics Review
The whole [book] forms an excellent overview of the Italian army under the Empire: an essential purchase if you plan to paint miniatures of this army.
* Vae Victus Magazine No184 *
“The materials provided and the range of knowledge on offer makes this book a great introduction to the Napoleonic Italian Army as it brings together a fascinating study of uniform development, against a backdrop of the campaign history and the organisation of the Napoleonic war machine and would therefore make a great reference text for both the uniform enthusiast and historian of Napoleonic Italy.” * The Napoleon Series *
”…Italian forces are to be part of your Napoleonic armies, start your brushes with this on your painting table.”
* Historical Miniatures Gaming Society *Stephen Ede-Borrett
The Author has been fascinated by early military flags for as long as he can remember and made his first notes on those of the English Civil War at the age of fifteen! This fascination has never faded and was only enhanced by a long association with re-enacting the period. Over the years he has written a number of short studies of particular colours as well as three short studies of the Colours of Foot. He is proud to live in London with his partner Mary as guests of the cats who allow them to share it.
