This book outlines the thrilling story of the onward march of the Church of Christ from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century. It is not a dry-as-dust account of long-forgotten events and controversies; but rather a moving record of those who undertook the adventure of faith before us and. through their courage and steadfastness; left an example for the church in every age. Reading of the exploits of those who have gone before us; through times of prosperity and times of persecution; should stimulate; warn and encourage the church in our own age to persevere in the same path; and obtain the same everlasting reward.

Tellez AI have to tell you the true the format of the Osprey Books is not my favorite but I can Not lie about the Uniforms Plates; they are one of the best may be not the most accurate but they are truly beatiful and great;the work of Angus McBride is one of the best modern Illustrator. May be the content is not new for the Napoleonic Historian but if you are beigining to study more about this Elite Guard this is the one to start. Mr Emir Bukhari gave us a small intro to each Force Grenadiers a Cheval;Chasseurs a Cheval;the famous Polish Lancer the 1Rg and The Second(Red Lancers)Dragoons;Gardes D'Honneur and the Mameluks in 8 plates We can review each Force with the help of 40 b/w Photos taken from the Bucquoy Serie "Les uniformes du Premier Empire" if you like this book I recommend the other titles; 55.Napoleon's Dragoons and Lancers; 64.Napoleon's Cuirassiers and Carabiniers; 68.Napoleon's Line Chasseurs; 76.Napoleon's Hussars; All by the same author and Illustrator; but if you really want a feast for the eyes look for The NAPOLEON'S ELITE CAVALRY: Cavalry of the Imperial Guard; 1804-Â1815 by the celebrated artist Lucien Rousselot
