Thank you for this idea, I can pass it on to my colleagues for consideration. I am interested to see if this is a topic that other forum users are keen on – please let me and Bad Andy know.

Considering the fame the Zouaves gained at actions in the Crimea, Mexico, and countless other engagements (as well as being the inspiration for the myriad of American Zouave units in the Civil War) I would think the French Zouaves are deserving of a title. In fact, I'd very much like to see a volume covering the uniforms of the various French colonial troops of 19th century North Africa (Spahis, Tirailleurs, Chasseurs d'Afrique, etc.).

Just to say: Brazil had a zouave unit, formed by black volonteers from Bahia in the beginning of the War of the Triple Alliance.

Very good idea. My first reaction was to say that they have been covered already. But I was thinking about the American Civil War titles. French Zouaves would be a great addition to the Osprey library.
