Dutch-Belgian Troops of the Napoleonic Wars

In a desperate attempt to stop the trafficking of British goods, Napoleon absorbed Holland, parts of Westfalia, the Duchy of Oldenburg and the Hanseatic towns of Hamburg, Bremen and Lubeck into Metropolitan France in 1810. The armies raised from these areas fought as allies of the French or as part of France itself from 1795 to 1813. This book examines the history, uniforms, orders of battle and colours and standards of the troops from the Batavian Republic and its short-lived status as the Kingdom of Holland. The text is enhanced with numerous illustrations, including maps, charts and detailed colour plates.Von Pivka, Otto is the author of 'Dutch-Belgian Troops of the Napoleonic Wars ', published 1992 under ISBN 9780850453478 and ISBN 085045347X.
