From the Liebfahne and Ordinärfahne of Austria, to the eagle and wreath of Russia, the flags of the Napoleonic Wars comprised a range of designs and colors.

The text is packed with illustrations throughout, including color plates, sketches and tables detailing flag variants, patterns and inspection colors.
