When the future Emperor assumed control of France, the infantry of his army was disorganized and poorly equipped; it lacked discipline and was trained in a quite old-fashioned way. Napoleon acted very rapidly to resolve the major problems of his foot troops, by giving them a new structure and by teaching them new tactics. By 1805, the French infantry was without a doubt the best in the world in terms of combat capabilities. The book will cover all the categories of units that were part of Napoleon's infantry: line regiments, light regiments, foreign corps and special corps. It is not always realized that the French infantry of 1800-1815 included large numbers of foreign soldiers and even an Irish Legion; all these little-known corps are taken into consideration, together with several special corps like Corsican light infantry and mountain infantry. Gabriele Esposito provides a complete guide to the French infantry of Napoleon, illustrated with rare contemporary uniform plates that have never been published before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45044763000983,"sku":"9781399008310","price":1792.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399008310.webp?v=1769215468","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/napoleons-infantry-french-line-light-and-foreign-regiments-1799-1815-9781399008310","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
