Synopsis

View it all -- from the magnificent "full dress" worn at the outset to the ragged costume adopted from necessity during the retreat. The drawings of over twenty contemporary artists and the accounts of more than forty eyewitnesses of all nationalities have been consulted. Over 150 uniforms are shown in full color, including those of the armies of France, Russia, Austria, Baden, Bavaria, Gleve-Berg, Hesse-Darmstadt, Italy, Naples, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, and many more. Enjoy the fascinating historical introduction recording the events of the campaign, and "Orders of Battle" listing both the Grande Armee and the opposing forces at the battle of Borodino.
