Synopsis

This comprehensive book on military organization in the latter half of the 19th century provides a detailed description of the armies of the period.

More broadly, this book is also an engaging historical account of the political and social character of the countries the author visited. The author's insightful observations and detailed descriptions provide a fascinating glimpse into the military history of this period.
