LES CUIRASSIERS

Ce quatorzième ouvrage de la collection « Officiers & Soldats » présente les cuirassiers français du Consulat à la Seconde Restauration.
Issus de la grosse cavalerie de l’Ancien régime, les premiers régiments de cuirassiers sont véritablement créés en France en 1801, sous le Consulat. Ce nouveau type de cavalerie constituera véritablement l’un des bras armés essentiels de la tactique napoléonienne.
Douze, puis bientôt quatorze, régiments seront ainsi créés pour constituer, conjointement avec les deux régiments de carabiniers déjà existant, la puissance de choc de la guerre napoléonienne et participer pendant plus de dix ans à toutes les campagnes napoléoniennes, d’Austerlitz le 2 décembre 1805, à Waterloo le 18 juin 1815, et des vallées d’Espagne aux lointaines plaines de Russie.
