Volume 1: The Swedish Infantry & Artillery of the Great Northern War 1700-1721
This is a great book which I strongly recommend if you have an interest in uniformology and the early 18th century in particular. Ukrainian artist and author Sergey Shamenkov has put together an invaluable work on that famous and influential force, the Swedish army of Charles XII. Covering the period from the old uniform of 1687 to the new uniform of 1706 with variations in between it is well illustrated with paintings and artefacts throughout. Covering details like waistbelts, drums, cloaks you name it the material culture of the Swedish is laid in front of you in a way that is rare for a force of this era.
