Riassunto

In the armies of the Napoleonic era, the cavalry formed an important part of the army. But the winning of the battle is in the detail - the proper management of those arms. In this book, companion to the similar work on infantry, the author looks toward what actually happened in the battles of the period, rather than what should have occurred, according to the regulations. The cavalry's weapons are examined: the use of the carbines and swords, the manner in which they were used in attack and defence, exemplified by contemporary accounts and illustrations.
