Osprey THE AUSTRIAN ARMY 1836-66 (2): CAVALRY. Uniforms, Equipment... OOP New

Description: New, unread copy, pages are clean and unruffled. Out Of Print and no longer available from the publisher. Profusely illustrated with dozens of illustrations. An excellent, concise history. See summary below. 48 pages. The huge, multi-national Austro-Hungarian army was a major factor in mid-19th century European politics. Sharing borders with ramshackle Ottoman Turkey and volatile Italy, the Empire was threatened both internally - by growing nationalist esentments - and externally by the ambitions of France and Prussia. The Imperial and Royal Army was representative of the Empire, its composition and gorgeously complex uniforms echoing the historical traditions of both German-speaking Middle Europe and the East-facing Hungarian borderlands. This detailed analysis of its cavalry arm - Kurassiers, Dragoons, Chevauxlegers, Hussars and Uhlans - follows the author/artist's similar treatment of the Austro-Hungarian infantry in Men-at-Arms 323, and includes detailed tables of regimental distinctions. An excellent historian's resource. Cover may have a small pencil or pen mark on the inside and light shelf wear from moving & storage, please see photo.
