Review: Outstanding reference and history of the soldiers and uniforms that fought in the American Revolution! - This fascinating and beautifully illustrated encyclopeida was written and edited by military historians Kevin F. Kiley and Digby Smith with consultation by Jeremy Black (MBE). The encyclopedia is the history of the uniforms used by the British, French, Americans, Spanish, Germans, and Native Americans during the American Revolution from 1775-1783. The encyclopedia begins with a brief history of the background that sets up the American Revolution and describes the hostilities and how America was devited between anti-British rebels and pro-British loyalists. Then the editors give the illustrated description of the uniforms that were worn by the soldiers. Each illustration of the uniforms is absolutley excellent and colorful. The chapters are broken into the following with a few examples from each chapter: - Introduction - The Forging Of A Nation (The Founding Of America, Colonization and Emigration, The French and Indian War, The American Army, The British Army) - Militias, Early Continental Units And State Troops (Militia And State Troops, The Minutemen, The First Continentals, The Canadian Regiments, The Philadelphia Associators, Riflemen and Stockbridge Indians) - The Continental Army (THose Ragged Contnentals, Commanders and Staff, Headquarters Troops, Uniform Regulations of 1779, Legions and Partisans) - The Soldiers Of The King (The Army of the British Empire, Infantry, Royal Regiments, Fusiliers, highland Regiments, Irish Regiments, Light Infantry, American Loyalist Infantry, Specialist Troops) - The French, Germans, and Spanish (Allies and Mercenaries, French Infantry, Rochambeau's Expeditionary Force and Colonial Troops, French Cavalry and Legions, The Gribeauval Artillery System, Hesse-Cassel Infantry and Artillery, Brunswick Infantry and Cavalry, Anspach-Bayreuth, Anhalt-Zerbst and Waldeck, German Jagers, Spain) - The Naval Forces Of The War (The War at Sea, Ships of the Line and Frigates, Gunboats, Gundalows and Galleys, Royal Navy Ofifcers and Seamen, British Marines, French Royal Navy, Continental Navy Officers and Seamen) - Glossary - Index - Acknowledgements As stated above, these are just a few examples of this OUTSTANDING encyclopedia of uniforms used by the soldiers of the American Revolution. It is noted that alot of the soldiers from the Continental Army didn't wear the uniforms in this encyclopedia and most wore the civilian clothes that they enlisted in throughout the Revolutionary War. Are these ALL the uniforms that were worn by both sides during the war? Of course not. Are these a great sampling of the uniforms that were worn? Absolutely. The illustrations and coloring of the uniforms are excellent. The brief history of the regiments is fascinating and contributes highly to the understanding of the uniforms that were worn. This is a MUST HAVE to any American Revolution historian, scholar, buff, and student to have in their library. This book greatly enhanced my understanding of the regimental history of the soldiers that fought in the American Revolution and the uniforms that they wore. A great encylcopedia of the uniforms and a great historical book on the American Revolution! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For those who paint toy soldiers ...
*by M***I on 16 October 2014*

...this book is a required purchase. Between history and military events, hundreds of uniforms trace the major events of the American Revolution. Bravo the author who had already ventured in the epic age of Napoleon, and unexpectedly "colored" the parade of uniforms of the conflict with american, English, French and native americans army under the spotlight. Very nice to see, less if I have to think whether to paint hundreds of miniatures with alls this variety of colors.
