Informationen zum Autor David Nicolle is Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Medieval Studies, Nottingham University. He is the author of numerous books on aspects of medieval military history, including many for Osprey. Klappentext At the close of the 18th century the Ottoman Empire still had huge military potential. It was a complex structure of military provinces, autonomous regions and virtually independent 'regencies'. The Ottoman Empire had a larger population than its land could actually support, which resulted in bloated cities, migration to under-populated mountainous areas, widespread banditry and piracy. It also meant that Ottoman armies had a ready pool of military manpower. With numerous illustrations, including eight stunning full-page colour artworks by Angus McBride, this fascinating text by David Nicolle explores the armies of the Ottoman Empire from 1775 until 1820. Vorwort A concise, illustrated study of the organization, uniforms and equipment of Ottoman armies. Zusammenfassung Covering the period between the reigns of Sultan Selim III and Sultan Mahmut II, this volume details the series of military and naval reforms of the Ottoman armies. It looks at the role of foreign advisors, the impact of the French Revolution and the establishment of military technical schools.
