In the summer of 1804; the eagle was chosen as the symbol of the French Army by Napoleon himself. The Emperor's sculptor; Chaudet; made the original model; and from this were cast bronze copies in the workshop of Thomire; which would be proudly borne into battle by many a French regiment. This fascinating work by Terence Wise explores in depth the flags; colours and guidons of the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815); concentrating on France and her allies; and covering every faction from Baden to Würzburg. This book is a must for anyone interested in this fascinating topic.

In particular; when I was reading letters that were written to the families from persons that were knowingly going to their death for their faith; it was both inspiring and heartbreaking.All of the previous reviews have covered just about everything.It is a big volume; and a Kindle edition would be wonderful! As I get older it seems to be easier to read on the computer than to hold the book. Also you can make the fonts much larger.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Amish ClassicBy Dr. RobThe Martyr's Mirror is a Seventeenth Century Anabaptist work; still actively read and used in Amish and Mennonite homes everywhere. Many of these stories will bring one to tears as they consider the suffering of those who gave their all for their faith.This edition contains many beautiful illustrations. I like how well bound it is; sturdy and attractive. Well worth the price for such a large volume.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Horrific torture Christians enduredBy Amn0708Exceptional detail in this three inch thick book: very fine; sturdy cover that appears will last hundreds of years. I showcase it next to my Bible to remain mindful of the despicable; horrific torture Christians endured during the dark ages; and to pray for those souls of the tortured; and to pray that it never happens to us or our loved ones. Amen.
