J ger were Europes first special operations forces, and their success on the battlefield was legendary. Yet, until now, no modern account of Austrias elite J ger troops in the 18th and 19th centuries has been available in either English or German.Written by a historian and a West Pointer with thirty-three years service in the U.S. Army, including with paratroops, this book introduces readers to Austrian J ger arms, equipment, training and tactics, as well as their unique role in the Habsburg Empires conflicts. Carefully illustrated, with many images never before published, J ger transcends the standard unit history. General readers of military history as well as arms and militaria collectors will find a comprehensive treatment of its subject in rich context, including: The emergence of the military J ger from a culture of hunting and rifled arms The place of Austrian J ger in the evolution of European light infantry J ger in Austrias wars against Frederick the Great, Napoleon, Bismarcks Prussia and in the wars of Italian independence J ger firearms and edged weapons Authoritative information for collectors With J ger, a too-long neglected chapter in European military history emerges from relative obscurity, challenging conventional academic wisdom and popular historical fancy about the origins of European elite light infantry.
