Perfect for historians, collectors, and military enthusiasts seeking an unrivalled, immersive experience in military uniform history. ## Description • Contains an unprecedented wealth of over 550 full-colour illustrations, including specially commissioned uniforms, battle plans and campaign maps. • An expert guide to the weapons, equipment, deployment, tactics and motivation of the national forces of the day, as well as fascinating detail of the day-to-day life of a Napoleonic soldier. • An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period. The book’s main focus is the soldiers who fought the historic battles of the day, and the uniforms they wore. It was in this age of war that military uniforms flourished, with an astonishing array of flamboyance, colour and intricate detail. The cut and colour of uniforms were used for identification from afar by the generals directing battles from strategic viewpoints, but at this point in time were also given an extraordinary level of detail in facings, laces and buttons, which carried never-ending intricate differences to denote regiment, rank or division. With over 550 specially commissioned and expert colour artworks, each regiment is vividly portrayed here in all their glory. All the major nations involved in the conflict, France, Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia, are covered in detail, and there is a section on the uniforms and contributions of the smaller forces, including those from America, Spain, Italy and Saxony About the Author: Digby Smith was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, in 1935. He spent three years in India prior to the Second World War and another in Pakistan in 1948, following his army family around the globe. He joined the army as an apprentice tradesman in 1951, and in 1961 was commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals and spent over 10 years in Germany. From 1970 he was part of the German Federal Armed Force. He resigned from the army in 1979 and until 1995 worked in logistics and customer services in the computer and IT field. In 1995 he began to compile the Greenhill Napoleonic Wars Data Book.

Many of his earlier works were published under the nom de plume of Otto von Pivka. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 9.1 x 0.8 x 11.97 inches | | Isbn 10 | 0754815714 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0754815716 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 256 pages | | Publication Date | December 27, 2006 | | Publisher | Lorenz Books | ## Images ![An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period (Military Uniforms) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iPT4UtPAL.jpg) ![An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period (Military Uniforms) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tJwIM1sAL.jpg) ![An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period (Military Uniforms) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ewsbzd+rL.jpg) ![An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period (Military Uniforms) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kr+2OGqhL.jpg) ![An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: An unrivalled reference to the insignia, appearance and experience of the fighting men of the period (Military Uniforms) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LYhRRRRWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - An Illustrated Encyclopedia: Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars: campaign maps; Provides an unrivalled source of visual information on the fighting men of the period - An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Uniforms of the 19th Century: An Expert Guide to the American Civil War, the Boer War, the Wars of German and Italian Unification and the Colonial Wars - An Illustrated History of Uniforms from 1775-1783: The American Revolutionary War --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1179545-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-uniforms-of-the-napoleonic-wars-an-unrivalled](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1179545-an-illustrated-encyclopedia-uniforms-of-the-napoleonic-wars-an-unrivalled) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
