New books on Louis XV's infantry by Dr Stephen Summerfield published by Ken Trotman

 A REVIEW
The FRENCH INFANTRY OF LOUIS XV Part 1 and 2
are EXCELLENT. I wish I had had these 10 or more years ago - it would have saved me a lot of money and effort. I think that this is an absolute triumph by Stephen and much wider appeal than redoing Moullard. They are an absolute must for anyone interested in the French Army of that period. The production quality is also excellent. Well done.
Yours aye, Charles S. Grant (Author and Wargamer)
