The English Civil War Recreated in Colour Photographs
In some 170 color photographs, this book brings to life the armies of Prussia and Austria, the King's German Legion, Brunswick and Saxony, as they have appeared at commemorations of the great battles of Jena and Wagram, Leipzig and Waterloo. As a bonus for modellers, wargamers, re-enactors and other students of these legendary campaigns, the authors include a selection of stunning photos of recreated British and French foot, horse and guns which have taken part in recent Continental battle re-enactments.
Of the tens of thousands of books exploring virtually every aspect of the Civil War, surprisingly little has been said about what was in fact the determining factor in the outcome of the conflict: differences in Union and Southern strategy.
