This book was written to provide an in-depth study of the Danish and Norwegian armies of the Napoleonic Wars.

Although this is principally a uniform book, historical background is also provided to place the details in their context. Most of the information contained in this volume is published in the English language for the first time.

Wilson doesn't neglect his text, providing comprehensive information on organisation, arms, equipment, standards and colours." Wargames Illustrated, Issue 408, Dec 2021also included. This volume is illustrated with 62 original full colour plates.
