"The Imperial and Royal or Imperial Austrian Army (German: Kaiserlich-konigliche Armee, abbreviation "K.K. Armee") was the armed force of the Holy Roman Empire under its last monarch, the Habsburg Emperor Francis II, although in reality, it was nearly all composed of the Habsburg army. When the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, it assumed its title of the Army of the Austrian Empire under the same monarch, now known as Emperor Francis I of Austria.
The ancient name of "Imperial-Royal Army" was used from 1745, as "Royal" referred to the Apostolic Kingdom of Hungary, which was not part of the Holy Roman Empire, but under Habsburg rule. The key feature of the army of the Austrian Empire during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815) was that, due to the multi-national nature of the territories, regiments were split into German units (which included Czech-troops recruited from Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, Polish and Ukrainian units recruited from the territory of Galicia, Flemings and Walloons territory of the former Austrian Netherlands, and Italians) and Hungarian units (which included troops from Croatia and Transylvania)."

Looks interesting. I note that Amazon UK have it for sale for £25.82 GBP. That is a lot less (for that side of the pond). |

Doesn't the dates cited seem odd?One would think they meant 1792 – 1815?? |

They don't. The dates on the book are correct for that volume. I've ordered it, but I don't believe that it will be as comprehensive as Rothenberg's book on the Austrian army of the period. That is still the definitive volume on the Austrian army of the Napoleonic period. |

This is part of a series of books published in Italy by Soldiershop – they are mainly colour plates with a commentary, rather than comprehensive studies of the armies in question. According to their website, this book has 104 pages and 90 colour plates. Further details on their range of publications are on soldiershop.com |
