Paperback. Condizione: New. Courcelle, Patrice (illustratore). While small in numbers, the Belgian Army played a vital role in World War 2 that is often overlooked. Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium, which led Britain to declare war in August 1914, should have been swift and fierce yet the unexpected heroic defence, against great odds, of Belgian fortresses, frustrated the German Schlieffen Plan for a thrust to Paris and a lightning victory. The plucky Belgian resistance proved successful in buying time for French and British troops to mobilize and report to the front, where the Belgians would then go on to fight, stubbornly defending the northern end of the Allied trench line for the rest of the war. In this work, discover the story of this determined Army, from their organization and commanders, to their uniforms and equipment. The only main combatant army of World War I not previously covered by Osprey, this volume will be an important addition to any enthusiast's collection, accompanied by detailed artwork and archive photographs.

Condizione: NUOVO. Milano, Su licenza Osprey Publ.- Libreria Editrice Goriziana cm.17x23,5, pp.94, brossura copertina figurata con bandelle. Coll.La Grande Biblioteca Militare del'900, 38. Pubblicazione della Gazzetta dello Sport. Nell'agosto del 1914, mentre l'Europa era sull'orlo della guerra, la Germania inviò un ultimatum al neutrale Belgio informandolo che ne avrebbe varcato i confini e intimando al governo del re Alberto I di non opporre resistenza. Questa piccola nazione, con il suo ridotto e antiquato esercito, scelse invece di combattere. Le speranze risultarono vane e il Paese fu presto invaso, ma la sua valorosa resistenza fornì alla Francia e alla Gran Bretagna il tempo sufficiente per mobilitare le forze. In seguito l'esercito belga, dopo essere stato ricostruito, mantenne il controllo del settore più a nord delle Fiandre sul fronte occidentale. E combatté sia contro l'offensiva tedesca di primavera sia nella successiva e vittoriosa controffensiva alleata. A cura di Maurizio Pagliano. Traduzione di Mario Pieri. Illustrazioni di Patrice Courcelle.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Autriche 2020. 1 Volume/1. -- New -- Hardback quarto size ( 29,5 x 26 cm )(.3500 gr ). ---------- 416 pages , 1200 illustrations. ********************** "" The Belgians in the Austrian Habsburg Army of the 18th century seem to have been completely forgotten. They enjoyed a very great reputation, however, and their numbers included seventeen field-marshals and about fifty generals. Belgian units were identified as such: they were called Walloon , recruited in the Low Countries . There were five infantry regiments, the free corps, a regiment of cavalry, artillery and engineers, a real embryo of a complete national army. These units distinguished themselves during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) against Frederick II s Prussians. The Austrian victories of Kolin, Hochkirch, Domstadtl and Adelsbach, among others, were due in large part to them. Against revolutionary France, the national regiments - as they were called in the Austrian Netherlands - were notably engaged at Neerwinden, Valenciennes, Fleurus, Wurzburg, Stockach, Trebbia and Marengo. Beyond the glorifying historiography of the 19th century, the archives and the testimonies of their opponents confirm their value and professionalism. The Belgian contribution was also intellectual, which was never sufficiently recognised. Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne, as we know, was arguably the most important Austrian military thinker of the 18th century, but many other Flemish, Walloon and Brussels officers were employed by the Habsburg army for their talents as tacticians, engineers, draftsmen or cartographers. There was a Belgian specificity related to the advanced education and material prosperity of the Netherlands within the multiple possessions of the Habsburgs. This book tells the story of all these unjustly forgotten men in a completely new way, drawing not only on first-hand sources but also on an iconography never collected before. This is all the more valuable because the Austrian monarchy did not subsidise many battle paintings , as was done in France. Nor, unlike Prussia, did it see to it that uniforms of its armies were preserved. The Royal Museum of the Army and Military History in Brussels, however, holds a large amount of material, printed and manuscript evidence from that period: it is all on display in this book. The castles of Belgium, in particular the Château Beloeil, have authorized the reproduction of their family treasures: portraits, colour battle plans, weapons, pieces of equipment and uniforms. The University of Namur holds in its library two collections of ancient works relating to Charles-Joseph de Ligne, field marshal and writer. The Museum of Military History in Vienna joined the adventure with other Austrian, Belgian, Luxembourg and German institutions to make this book a veritable catalogue of collectibles and the most complete pictorial sum on the powerful Habsburg army in the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Couverture rigide. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Autriche 2020. 1 Volume/1. -- Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée. Format in-4°( 29,5 x 26 cm )(.3500 gr ). ---------- 416 pages , 1200 illustrations. ********************** "" Le souvenir des Belges dans l armée des Habsbourg d Autriche au 18e siècle semble s être complètement perdu. Leur réputation fut pourtant très élevée, ils comptèrent dix-sept feldmaréchaux et une cinquantaine de généraux. Les unités belges étaient identififiées comme telles : on les qualififiait de « wallonnes », recrutées aux « Pays-Bas ». Il y avait cinq regiments d infanterie, des corps francs, un régiment de cavalerie, de l artillerie et du génie, veritable embryon d une armée nationale complète. Ces unités s illustrèrent durant la guerre de Sept Ans (1756-1763) contre les Prussiens de Frédéric II. Les victoires autrichiennes de Kolin, de Hochkirch, de Domstadtl et d Adelsbach, entre autres, leur sont dues en grande partie. Contre la France révolutionnaire, les « régiments nationaux » comme on les appelait dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens furent notamment engagés à Neerwinden, à Valenciennes, à Fleurus, à Würzburg, à Stockach, à la Trebbia et à Marengo. Au-delà de l historiographie glorififiante du 19e siècle, les archives comme les témoignages de leurs adversaires confifirment leur valeur et leur professionnalisme. La contribution belge fut aussi intellectuelle, ce qui n a jamais été suffifisamment reconnu. Le prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne, on le sait, fut sans doute le plus important penseur militaire autrichien du 18e siècle mais beaucoup d autres offificiers flflamands, wallons et bruxellois étaient employés par l armée des Habsbourg pour leurs talents de tacticien, d ingénieur, de dessinateur ou de cartographe. Il y avait là une spécifificité belge liée au degré d instruction avancé et à la prospérité matérielle des Pays-Bas au sein des multiples possessions des Habsbourg. Cet ouvrage expose le parcours de tous ces hommes injustement oubliés d une façon tout à fait nouvelle, en s appuyant non seulement sur des sources de première main mais aussi sur une iconographie jamais rassemblée jusqu ici. Celle-ci est d autant plus précieuse que la monarchie autrichienne n a pas subventionné comme en France de nombreuses « peintures de bataille ». Elle n a pas non plus, contrairement à la Prusse par exemple, veillé à préserver les uniformes anciens de ses armées. Le Musée royal de l Armée et d Histoire militaire de Bruxelles détient cependant quantité de témoignages matériels, imprimés et manuscrits de cette époque : ils sont tous exposés dans ce livre. Les châteaux de Belgique, et d abord celui de Beloeoeil, ont autorisé la reproduction de leurs trésors de famille : portraits, plans de bataille en couleurs, armes, pieces d équipements et d uniformes. L Université de Namur détient en sa bibliothèque deux fonds d ouvrages anciens relatifs à Charles-Joseph de Ligne, feld-maréchal et écrivain. Le Heeresgeschichtliches Museum de Vienne s est joint à l aventure avec d autres institutions autrichiennes, belges, luxembourgeoises et allemandes, pour faire de ce livre un véritable catalogue d objets de collection et la somme picturale la plus complète sur la puissante armée des Habsbourg dans la deuxième moitié du 18e siècle et au début du 19e.
