The Army of Gustavus Adolphus: Infantry (Men-at-Arms Series)

Book Description
The rapid rise to fame of Gustavus Adolphus was indeed extraordinary. For a time he had the status of figures like Alexander the Great and Napoleon: men who have inspired their armies to perform incredible feats; men almost worshipped in their own lifetimes. The story of this incredible character; the myths and legends which surround him, and the organisation, arms, armour and uniforms of his army, are here examined by Richard Brzezinski, in a volume packed with accompanying illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook and the author himself.


From the Publisher
Packed with specially commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams, the Men-at-Arms series is an unrivalled illustrated reference on the history, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the world's military forces, past and present.
