Richly illustrated with many pictures and sources never seen before,
this is the complete examination of the famed Polish lancers from their
founding in 1806 as an Honour Guard for Napoleon, to one of the most
famous and recognizable units of the Napoleonic Wars. Mr. Lubomski has
looked at all aspect of this famed unit's organization and equipment
through the study of original documents belonging to the regiment and
with the support of museums and private collections throughout Europe,
to open a treasure trove of information. With over 250 illustrations -
most in colour, this is a must have for students of history or people
interested in the era.
