View it all -- from the magnificent "full dress" worn at the outset to the ragged costume adopted from necessity during the retreat. The drawings of over twenty contemporary artists and the accounts of more than forty eyewitnesses of all nationalities have been consulted. Over 150 uniforms are shown in full color; including those of the armies of France; Russia; Austria; Baden; Bavaria; Gleve-Berg; Hesse-Darmstadt; Italy; Naples; Poland; Prussia; Saxony; and many more. Enjoy the fascinating historical introduction recording the events of the campaign; and "Orders of Battle" listing both the Grande Armee and the opposing forces at the battle of Borodino.

A significant contribution to the study of the Israeli/Palestinian conflictBy Elias DavidssonPappe is a courageous Israeli academic who refuses to close his eyes on the crimes committed by "his people" towards the Palestinian people. His account on the Palestinian tragedy (Nakba) of 1947/8; is a must for those seeking to understand the history of the Palestinian/Israel conflict. His book complements the seminal and earlier study by Benny Morris on the Palestinian refugees.
