Napoleon as a General: Command from the Battlefield to Grand Strategy
Angebote / Angebote:
In this insightful and well informed account, Jonathon Riley, himself a Major General in the British Army, examines Napoleon as a general. He opens with a short treatise on generalship in order to define Napoleon's achievement before moving on to the man himself. He examines Napoleon as a strategist, as a coalition commander, Napoleon's campaigns and Napoleon on the battlefield. Areas often ignored in the context of pre-industrial warfare, logistics and counter-insurgency, are also examined. Riley proceeds to three specific case studies beginning with Napoleon's first essay in generalship and the conquest of Piedmont, Napoleon at the height of his powers at the conquest of Prussia, to Napoleon's final defeats and the Battle of the Nations in 1813.
