History Of Warfare: The Napoleonic Wars

Part of the Cassell 'History Of Warfare' series, a multi-volume history of war and warfare from ancient to modern times.

Austerlitz, often described as Napoleon's greatest victory, epitomizes Napoleonic warfare: mobile, offensive and totally ruthless. This highly illustrated book, written by a leading authority, narrates the rise, astonishing success and eventual downfall of Napoleon, whose genius changed the face of warfare for ever. Gunther Rothenberg covers the complete history of the Napoleonic Wars, from their origins in the French Revolution and the Italian Campaign through to Napoleon's final defeat in 1815.

The cartography is by Malcolm Swanston and team, who have developed unique and innovative mapmaking techniques that brilliantly complement the text.

Includes colour and black-and-white illustrations.
