The chasseurs, being the indigenous French light horse, can perhaps therefore be equated best with the infantry demi-brigades of this period.
A half-trained, unprofessional, make-shift collection, they made up with zeal what they lacked in experience, a qualification which in no way diminished the importance of their role within Napoleon's all-conquering army.
Emir Bukhari's fine text examines the dress and equipment of Napoleon's line chasseurs, plus the histories of individual regiments in a volume containing a plethora of illustrations and diagrams including eight full page colour plates by popular artist Angus McBride, showing a variety of uniforms in admirable detail.
Emir Bukhari is a renowned expert on the French army of the Napoleonic era. He has written several books for Osprey's Men-at-Arms series and he remains one of our most popular authors.
Angus McBride was one of the world's most respected historical illustrators, and contributed to over 100 Osprey titles over several decades.
