European Armies of the French Revolution, 1789–1802
Ed. Frederick C. Schneid Norman: Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 2015. Pp. vii, 280. ISBN 978–0–8061–4039–1. http://www.miwsr.com/2017-032.aspx "As Janet Hartley (London School of Economics and Political Science) shows in chapter 4, "The Russian Army," the Russians were preoccupied by wars against the Turks and Poles until 1795. They finally joined the fray in 1799 with a large, veteran force led by experienced commanders, one of whom, the venerable Gen. Alexander Suvorov, beat the French in several battles in Northern Italy. Much of this chapter concerns the Russians' methods of recruiting, training, and equipping their army. Hartley shows that the mixture of Russian traditions with western, especially Prussian, ideas and methods enabled the Russians to hold their own against the presumably more modern French."
