I put off getting it for some time due to the price, when I got it though I thought it well worth the price. Loads of fascinating stuff, battles I had never heard of, articles about the Polish force you cant get in English and lots of lovely art work. Highly recomended if you are serious about this particular period.

I did a mini review on my blog here if your interested:

I dare not buy it in case it highlights my mistakes and laziness with flags and facings

Uniforms is a small part of it and there are much better uniform sources, its the history of the war, the politics, the information on battles thats only available in foreign languages, there is loads in here about the Poles and Cossacks that I have read nowhere else and quite a few battles I had never heard of.

Definately worth the money.
