Born of a political crisis pitting the king against the great lords of the realm, the League of the Public Weal came close to condemning King Louis XI. For nearly three years, this rebellion led by Charles of Burgundy, Francis II of Brittany, and Charles of Berry — the king's own brother — shook royal power to its foundations. To oppose them, the king raised an army of loyalists (Normans, Savoyards, Dauphinois) and his famous lances d'ordonnance. At the Battle of Montlhéry (16 July 1465), a few kilometres south of Paris, Louis XI played his throne against the allied army commanded by Charles the Bold. This inconclusive battle was followed by the siege of Paris and the reconquest of Normandy, provisionally ceded by Louis to his brother.

The markings applied to Marine Corps tanks in the Pacific are a source of great interest for armour enthusiasts, and especially for scale modellers, who find in them an almost endless diversity and originality. However, apart from a few scattered references in books covering broader subjects, there are no specialist works in English on the topic. This...

For Napoleon, "the infantry is the soul of the army". It did indeed comprise the greater part of the combatants under arms. We shall examine closely these "pousse-cailloux" — foot soldiers who tramped across Europe in every direction for nearly a quarter of a century. With the exception of the particular case of the Imperial Guard, the French infantry...
