I have to say that I am surprised this subject does not have it's own threak, since the Napoleonic wars period is undoubtedly the apogee of military uniforms evolution.
There are rare volumes on the subject by Lucien Russelot. Some British volumes, I think by Elting, John R.
There are few movies that cover the subject such as superb "Duelists" and less superb but costumy War and Piece.
Please chime in on Books and movies that cover this fascinating period and its unbelievable military style.
