Polish Winged Hussar 1576-1775 (Warrior): Richard Brzezinski

Description

This book examines the origins and development of the Polish 'Winged' Hussars. Using many years' painstaking research drawn from unpublished Polish sources, the author provides a rounded view of the training, tactics, appearance and experiences of these legendary and fascinating warriors. Most dramatic of all Hussar characteristics were the 'wings' worn on the back or on the saddle, although not all Hussars wore them, and their purpose has been fiercely debated. The Hussars terrified the Turks, Tatars, Muscovite boyars, Ukrainian Cossacks and Swedes, who did everything to avoid facing them directly in battle.

Review: My favorite Osprey
Seeing that I had never heard of either the author or the illustrator, I was pleasantly suprised by the professionalism of this Osprey Title. The author sticks for the most part to the typical osprey title style, with sections detailing tactics and training etc. However he differed from the rudimentery "bullet point" writing I have seen in so many osprey sections. The author, Brzezinski combines first hand sources with his own writing succsessfully keeping the book both informative and interesting. The illustrator also for the most time does an excellent job. His figures are detailed and well-proportioned they are well detailed and paint a excellent picture.
Overall an excellent book for a fascinating period.
