Russian Army of the Seven Years War (2)

Russian Army of the Seven Years War (2) cover

Description

This second volume by Angus Konstam on the Russian Army of the Seven Years War concentrates on the cavalry, both the regular troops and irregular forces, considering their composition, nature and effectiveness.

It also outlines the state of the Russian train of artillery, which was seen as the premier branch of the army and dominated Russian military doctrine throughout the 18th century. As a result of reforms to the, the Russians entered the war with Prussia somewhat wrong footed.

Following on from Men-at-Arms 297, this is the story of the army's ability to recover from this in the crucible of war.
