  This is the last volume of the series dedicated to the Polish formations financed by the French. The albums about the Vistula Legion and the Polish units in the Napoleon’s Guard were published earlier.
  The author of the text, historian Andrzej Dusiewicz, presents the history of the Polish Legions that fought in Italy under the command of general Henryk Dabrowski. The reader will also learn a lot about units that derived from the Legions: the Danube Legion, the Polish-Italian Legion, and the North Legion. Furthermore, Andrzej Dusiewicz describes the uniforms and the equipment of all the formations as well as unique tactics that they applied. We’ve also prepared 3 maps that show the areas where Polish soldiers entered into combat: Italian Peninsula, Danube area and Santo Domingo.
  Colour plates, painted by Ryszard Morawski, illustrate the uniforms and the equipment of the Legion’s infantry, cavalry and artillery. Morawski used in his work two previously unknown iconographic sources from a private collection in Italy and from the New York Library.
  Each colour plate is captioned in Polish, French, English and Italian. The final section of the book contains additionally the bibliography, alphabetical index of names and extensive summaries in French, English and Italian.
