The First Empire is responsible for giving us the most lasting picture
we have of the Hussars. This volume deals with the Hussars (from the 9th
to the 14th Regiment) for the period 1804-1812. There is a chapter given
over to the 1812 Regulations which fixed the broad outlines and the 6
regiments are analyzed, together with the uniforms worn between 1812 and
1818.
André Jouineau, figurines maker and collector, works with Histoire &
Collections for more than 16 years. His uniforms plates, which have been
fully carried out using data processing, have made him a pioneer in this
field.
He is the illustrator of the magazine Figurines and books such as
Jena-Auerstaedt or Les Chasseurs d'Afrique.
Jean-Marie Mongin, previous chief editor of Uniformes and Tradition
Magazine, puts all his knowledge in military history writing these
drawing texts and captions.
Both are also authors of French Hussars (Vol. 1 and 2), American Civil
War (Vol. 1 and 2), and French Imperial Guard (Vol. 1, 2, 3 and 4)
stemming from the same series.
Unifom lovers, history and strategy fanatics as well as figurines
makers.
