Condition: NUOVO. A cura di Maurizio Pagliano. Traduzione di Mario Pieri. Illustrazioni di Patrice Courcelle. 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. cm.17x23,5, pp.94, Coll.La Grande Biblioteca Militare del'900, 38.

Hardback, 416 pages, approx 1200 photographs and illustrations English Text These units distinguished themselves during the Seven Years War (1976-1763) against Frederick IIâs Prussians. The Austrian victories at Kolin, Hochkirch, Domstadtl and Adelsbach, amongst others, were due in large parts to them. Against Revolutionary France , the ânational regimentsâ -as they were called in the Austrian Netherlands- were notably engaged at Neervinden, Valenciennes, Fleurus, Wurzburg, Stockach, Trebbia and Marengo. Beyond the glorifying historiography of the 19th century, the archives and the testimonies of the opponents confirm their value and professionalism. The Belgian contribution was also intellectual, which was never sufficiently recognises. Prince Charles-Joseph de Ligne, as we know, was arguably one of 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 talent as technicians, 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 subsidised many âbattle paintingsâ, as was done in France. Nor, unlike Prussia, did it see to it that uniforms of its armies were preserved. The Royal Museum Of Army and Militatry History in Brussels, however, holds a large amount of material, printed and manuscript evidence of that period: it is all on display in this book. The castles of Belgium, in particular the Chateau Beloeil, have authorised the reproduction of their family treasures: portraits, colour battle plans, weapons, piece 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 of the powerful Habsburg army in the second half of the 18th and early 19th century.

Hardback 600 pages, approx. 1650 colour colour photographs & contemporary BW-photographs and illustrations. In August 1914, Belgium suddenly made the newspaper headlines when Imperial Germany, forgetting its international commitments, invaded the little country, thereby violating its neutral status. Britain retaliated by declaring war. Like Serbia, Poor Little Belgium became a cause worth defending and gave legitimacy to the conflict that the allied nations entered into. In military terms, the Belgian army surprised the entire world by resisting with greater vigour than expected. With their modest resources (230,000 men), the Belgian armed forces, cornered as they were in a small and partly inundated scrap of territory, succeeded in fighting off the enemy for the duration of the war, and managed to join forces with the allies in the offensive of Autumn 1918. Belgium, a victim of crippling destruction and the systematic dismantling of its industry, was accordingly afforded priority in its entitlement for compensation when the peace treaties were signed.This volume of 600 pages (with more than 1,650 colour and black-and-white photographs) is dedicated to the uniforms and equipment used by the Belgian army and other affiliated armed forces such as the garde civique and the force publique in the Belgian Congo. The bibliographic data known to us to date on this subject is limited, representing no more than a set of articles and brochures brought together over the period of a century.This work, unprecedented in its comprehensiveness, can therefore be considered an excellent reference tome. It is based on the extensive collections on display in the Belgian Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and of Military History. Supplementary private collections have been the source of many other objects in order to provide as much illustrative material as possible for this publication. Like many small states in 1914, the Kingdom of Belgium had an army that absorbed and blended influences from the major powers, drawing inspiration from both France (uniforms) and Germany (equipment). Budgetary necessity meant that uniforms had to be simplified for the infantry (line infantry, chasseurs a pied, carabiniers, etc.), the cavalry (guides, lancers, chasseurs a cheval, etc.), the artillery and the engineering corps, leaving very few distinctive features - except some extremely outdated forms of headdress - to distinguish between the different arms. When stocks ran out, this striving to achieve uniformity culminated in the issuance of khaki uniforms in 1915. They were cut to a common pattern inspired by British styling. A new headdress, the French Adrian helmet, was introduced shortly afterwards. The circumstances of this war meant that the provenance of the basic materials and equipment was diverse, with France, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, Argentina and the United States supplying material for objects that have now become scarce in existing collections.Overseas clients please note: Due to excessively high wrapped weight shipping is weighted on this title.

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.
