A finely produced illustrated biography of General Count Charles Lasalle (1775–1809), one of the most charismatic and daring cavalry commanders of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Written by Dr F. C. Hourtoulle, this volume traces Lasalle’s meteoric military career, from his early service during the Revolution through his celebrated exploits as a cavalry leader under Napoleon, culminating in his death at Wagram. Known for his audacity, tactical brilliance, and personal courage, Lasalle became a legendary figure within the French army and a symbol of Napoleonic cavalry spirit.
The book is richly illustrated throughout with full-colour plates, contemporary artwork, uniform studies, and documentary reproductions, making it both a serious historical study and a visually striking reference work. Privately published in France, this edition reflects a high standard of production and is particularly sought after by collectors of Napoleonic military history and French-language scholarship.
An excellent addition to any collection focused on the French Revolutionary period, Napoleonic warfare, or cavalry history.
