Description
Among the mass of units formed in the early months of the American Civil War were several of the colourful Zouave units.
Inspired by the French colonial units raised in North Africa with their distinctive uniforms and reputation as hard fighters, the Zouaves were raised with similar ideas. In this volume Robin Smith details the uniforms and battles of these flamboyant units.
Featuring illustrations by the popular Bill Younghusband, this compact guide explores the origins of the Zouaves and their presence in the American Civil War.
