Can anyone recommend any books that feature the appearance of the Croat and Serb irregular forces during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49? |

You mean besides those written in Serbian?  The best information I have found in one place, though not complete is: The man who saved Austria, the life and times of Baron Jellacic by Hartley, M Published [1912] link
Jellacic was the Ban of Croatia at the time of the revolution and organized the Croats to invade Hungary in Spring of 1848 to defend Austria [Once Hungary refused to consider Croatian sovereignty when they declared their independence, Croatia having been considered part of Hungary.] The book gives a description of the Croat Frontier troops, organization and early battles as well as *some* of the guerilla actions. [and Serbs to some extent as they joined The Ban.] with illustrations.
While there are a couple of great books on the war including pictures and irregular battles, the books are in Hungarian. hope that helps…. |

Thanks for the link. What are the illustrated books in Hungarian? I just ordered Somogyi's book on the Honved army. |

Let me remind you all that the Foreign Correspondent has a lot of articles on the Hungarian Revolt of 1848-1849. You can find a file with a war index for the first 100 issues on the 19th Century Warfare and Wargaming Facebook group. |

McLaddie, what is the best way to find a copy of Hermann Robert's book? |
| McLaddie | 28 Mar 2016 7:10 a.m. PST |
Well, you can order it from the link I gave. It is difficult to find in US stores. |

I'm thinking about putting in a book search for Hermann's book from the Hungarian site. Can you give me some info about it? |
