Orders of Battle Series Editor John Moore.

This series presents the military enthusiast with a new angle on the major battles of history. Supported by comprehensive organisation diagrams the forces involved are examined unit-by-unit. The books provide the most detailed information every published on the great clashes of history and the units which fought them. We believe that the books in this series are no longer in print.

96 page paperback book with a fold out map inside the back cover which is unused. The book consists primarily of unit descriptions and organisation diagrams with potted biographies of commanders, maps and colour illustrations of uniforms and small reproductions of portraits and other paintings.
