In September 1848 on behalf of the Austrian Kaiser, his Croatian Viceroy declared war on the King of Hungary, precipitating one of the largest and bloodiest European conflicts of the nineteenth century. The Kaiser and King were one and the same man, Ferdinand. The war was only concluded with the massive intervention of the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army the following year, at the end of which independent Hungary was crushed.The Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-49 was a hugely complex event, both politically and militarily.Here, for the first time in English, in one single volume is a detailed study of how the armies of that war were raised, dressed, equipped and fought.Including detailed Orders of Battle, this work also includes a historical background, and a chapter giving an overview of the war itself, providing vital context for an understanding of how the troops of that conflict were raised and fought.
