{"product_id":"napoleons-overseas-army-ren-chartrand-9780850459005","title":"Napoleon's Overseas Army","description":"When the French Revolution broke out in 1789, France possessed numerous colonies spread over three continents. To defend and keep the peace in these territories, a small army of colonial troops, distinct from the metropolitan line regiments or marines, had existed since the days of Louis XIV. This book examines the history and uniforms of the often-overlooked French armies in Saint-Domingue, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Lucia, Tobago, Ile-de-France, La R union, Pondich ry, Guiana, Senegal and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. The text is backed by numerous illustrations offering a rare glimpse into dress and equipment of Napoleon's overseas army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e René Chartrand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0850459001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780850459005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.77h x 7.29w x 0.18d","brand":"René Chartrand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059022786815,"sku":"9780850459005","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c17d93f5-cff5-4190-a83b-c92fd7e45ed0.jpg?v=1685055800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/napoleons-overseas-army-ren-chartrand-9780850459005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
