Austrian Frontier Troops 1740–98: Men-at-Arms

Autor David Hollins Ilustrat de Darko Pavlovic
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2005
Austria's Balkan frontier - the disputed borderland between Europe and the Ottoman Turks - was defended in the 18th century by a unique organization of hardy communities who were granted farmland in return for armed service.

These Grenzers, masters of guerrilla warfare, were later incorporated into Austria's regular forces, and earned a wider reputation fighting against the army of Frederik the Great's Prussia. By the start of the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France they provided a significant part of the Austrian Line.

This book unravels their complex history, and illustrates the development of their colourful folk costumes into striking uniforms.
