This 48 page Osprey scratches the surface of a fascinating subject, that of the elite of Napoleons Cavalry. The book is full of some superb black and white plates and 9 pages of full colour plates of some fantastically colourful and diverse uniforms. As with all of this type of Osprey book the focus is on uniform and organisational rather than battle history but it is an invaluable source for war-gamers and modellers and well worth the money.
