Here is a brilliant analysis of Napoleon's military strengths and weaknesses, as well as his many opponents' failures in the face of battle. The narrative provides insight into the technology, tactics, logistics, strategy, and outstanding generalship that created an empire stretching from the Atlantic coast to the Russian Steppes, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean. And it offers a penetrating examination of the military and political mistakes that led to Napoleon's forced abdication and final exile to the island of St. Helena. Complementing this text is a beautiful large-format full-color campaign atlas. These original maps not only highlight Napoleon's key military battles, but also provide dates, unit numbers, troop deployments, and movements of opposing forces, as well as critical geographical information. This atlas is designed to be used either alone or with the text of The Wars of Napoleon. Click for more in this series: West Point Military History Series |
