この電子書籍について

What did Napoleon's soldiers carry in their backpacks? A unique reference that paints a detailed picture of one of history’s great military machines.
 
Napoleon's Infantry Handbook is an essential reference guide, filled with fascinating detail on the training, tactics, equipment, service, and administration of Napoleon's infantry regiments.
 
Based on training manuals, regulations, and orders of the time, it details the everyday routines and practices that governed the imperial army up to the Battle of Waterloo and made it one of history's most formidable military machines. Through years of research, Terry Crowdy has amassed a huge wealth of information on every aspect of the infantryman’s existence:
 
  • weapons drill and maintenance
  • uniform regulations
  • pay
  • diet and cooking regulations
  • hygiene and latrine digging
  • medical care
  • burial of the dead
  • how to apply for leave, and more
 
This remarkable book fills in the gaps left by campaign histories and even eyewitness memoirs, which often omit such details. This book doesn't merely recount what Napoleon's armies did, it explains how they did it in a world so different from our own. The result is a unique guide to the everyday life of Napoleon's infantry soldiers—as well as an outstanding reference for anyone writing about this historical period.
