The Army of Gustavus Adolphus (2) : Cavalry Paperback / softback

Illustrated by Richard Hook

Part of the Men-at-Arms series

Description

Much of the fame of Gustavus Adolphus has founded upon his cavalry.

He is said to have reversed the stagnation of European cavalry warfare, giving it back fluidity and vigour.

Like much 'Gustavus mythology', however, the truth may well be quite different.

Richard Brzezinski explores the truth behind the myth, in an attempt to find the real story of Gustavus's cavarly.

Their organization, arms, armour, tactics and uniforms are examined in a text accompanied by many illustrations, including eight fine full page colour plates by Richard Hook.
