Certainly the title and text of the books is in Polish, but with captions in French and English, as well as a historical summary, but mostly there are beautiful plates on Polish uniforms of the Napoleonic saga.

I for one have had via Abebooks, 4 of these books.
The illustrations are not those of P. COURCELLE, but it is a solid and comprehensive documentation which I highly recommend.
The publisher's website:
http://www.karabela.waw.pl/eng/books.htm
But you can also buy them via Abebooks using the ISBN or title of the book (in Polish)


 
These are lovely books.
Although it was some years ago,
I was priviledged to be allowed to look through 'his treasures' by a fellow planeteer at his home.
