His Civil War paintings and limited edition prints hang in the finest collections in the country and are noted by collectors from around the world. Now, in "Don Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War", the artist turns his brush to one of the most colourful and captivating aspects of Civil War history: the individual units that earned their reputations on the battlefield and the distinctive uniforms they wore. In addition to 130 paintings of battle scenes and individual figures, the book also includes more than 250 full-colour photographs of the uniforms the soldiers wore and the accoutrements they carried. Supporting the illustrations is text by two of the leading military artefact experts. Taken together, it makes for one of the most comprehensive books on Civil War uniforms ever undertaken.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume examines the impact of military activity upon Scotland's national identity as the country underwent a fundamental transition through domestic centralisation at the turn of the seventeenth century, integration into the United Kingdom in 1707, and as a partner in Britain's global empire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is divided into three thematic sections that examine the evolution of Scottish military identity over the early modern period, how the Highland region moved from a relationship of hostility to the Lowland political authorities to the central element in eighteenth and ninteenth century Scottish soldiering, and, finally, how aspects of Scotland's civilian society interrelated with her soldiers.
