Two Years in the Pontifical Zouaves - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Follow along in the footsteps of the brave soldiers of the Papal Army who marched, fought, bled, and died defending the hegemony of Pope Pius IX and the Church.

These 19th-century Crusaders were more than just soldiers, but were bodyguards, policemen, nurses, and the embodiment of the Catholic faith. The Zouaves Pontificaux would march into the most ferocious combat with a musket in one hand, and a Rosary in the other.

Heroes to some and villains to others, the Papal Zouaves have no equivalent in modern times, and are deserving of honor, acknowledgment, and even reverence.

This modern reprint of the 1871 original includes over 100 added photos, engravings, maps, and images detailing their story from their creation in 1861 to their disbanding in 1871 after the fall of Rome and the dissolution of the Papal States.
