EVERYTHING ABOUT CARL XII'S ARMY FOR THE FIRST TIME!
The Great Northern War of 1700-1721 was a turning point in the history of many countries and peoples of Northern and Eastern Europe. For Russia, its outcome was the return of lands formerly occupied by Sweden, securing access to the Baltic Sea and becoming a Great World Power. In addition, the military art of the Russian regular army was formed due to the fact that from the very beginning it had to confront the best European army of the time - the Swedish army of King Charles XII, one of the greatest commanders of the XVIII century, whose state was the second largest in Europe, second only to Russia itself. However, in domestic literature, the military art and organization of the Swedish army of its "golden age" have received virtually no coverage. The book of Doctor of Historical Sciences A.V. Bespalov in all details shows the development of military art of the army of Charles XII and highlights little-studied episodes of its combat path in Poland, the Baltic States, Ukraine and Russia. The reader will learn about the management system of the Swedish army and its top commanders; the development of manning, supply and discipline; the strategy and tactics of the Swedish king; his guards; Swedish artillery in the Great Northern War; uniforms and banners of the army of Charles XII.
