{"product_id":"austrian-frontier-troops-1740-98-9781841767017","title":"Austrian Frontier Troops 1740-98","description":"Austria's Balkan frontier - the disputed borderland between Europe and the Ottoman Turks - was defended in the 18th century by a unique organization of hardy communities who were granted farmland in return for armed service. These Grenzers, masters of guerrilla warfare, were later incorporated into Austria's regular forces, and earned a wider reputation fighting against the army of Frederik the Great's Prussia. By the start of the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France they provided a significant part of the Austrian Line. This book unravels their complex history, and illustrates the development of their colourful folk costumes into striking uniforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841767017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 7.34w x 0.15d","brand":"David Hollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52360423932085,"sku":"9781841767017","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6799e010-f3cb-430b-8462-8ee4b084ecf9.jpg?v=1773720876","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/austrian-frontier-troops-1740-98-9781841767017","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
