Giuseppe Rava was born in Faenza in 1963 and took an interest in
all things military from an early age. Entirely self-taught,
Giuseppe has established himself as a leading military history
artist and is inspired by the works of the great military artists,
such as Detaille, Meissonier, Röchling, Lady Butler, Ottenfeld and
Angus McBride. He lives and works in Italy.
This is a useful introduction to this relatively little known war,
with a good balance between the normal examination of the armies
and the rather more useful narrative of events.
