Thinking of picking this one up from onmilitarymatters, judging by the Spanish volumes looks good, any thoughts? 1-211360 Gayda, M and Krijitsky, A, edited by Stephen Summerfield RUSSIAN ARMY OF TSAR ALEXANDER I: 1805-1815
A completely adapted reworking of the original French 1950 volume by Le Sabretache, this edition is 184pp. with 50 four-color uniform plates with English captions. English/French table of uniform color terminology. This famous study has been the standard work on the Russian Napoleonic Army's uniforms. Stephen has concentrated upon the essential element of the book – the uniform plates. These have been made more useable by splitting into logical new plate sections, properly indexed for ease of identification, and all color shades translated in a special glossary of terms. The result is a spectacular, beautiful study of the principal uniforms of all arms, with 50 color plates as well as numerous additional text illustrations. 1 vol, 0 pgs 2016 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN available late May 2016 ……$75.00 rct |

I'll be looking for this, but the STANDARD work on Russian uniforms is Viskavatov. |

I'm on the fence about this one--I'd really like to see some sample pages. With Conrad's translation of Viskovatov; Parkhaev's Russkaya Armiya; and Gingerich's website for the latest and greatest, we have pretty good coverage. I also have Hourtoulle's Eylau to Friedland, Moscowa and 1814--is this one any advance on those? |

I would go with that one mentioned by Greystreak – seemingly the state of the art – Kriitsky & Gayda is obsolete and is by no means the standard work of the Russian Army. |

Clay, you're searching for ISBN 978-5-903389-65-0, in Russian language only. Brace yourself on the price. |
