The Campaigns of Napoleon has received near universal acclaim for its comprehensiveness. It is above all as a practical commander in the field that Napoleon is depicted in this volume, and no reader of military affairs can afford to miss this brilliant account of a great military genius at work.Īt 1172 pages, The Campaigns of Napoleon is ilustrated by 73 maps, specialy drawn for this book, and seven maps reproduced from original engravings. Yet, perhaps surprisingly, there was little that was new in the Emperor's military thinking - his particular genius lay as a commander in the field, where he made use of the ideas of others in his own brilliant fashion. Every operation he conducted contains many unique features, but there were from first to last ceratin basic principles which he almost invariably applied. Napoleon himself said, "Je n'ai jamais eu un plan d'operations," but as the author shows, this comment was very deceptive. By the completion of this huge undertaking, David Chandler has made it possible to view the whole of Napoleon's military career and to access the characteristics which brought him years of victory and then ultimate defeat.
Over the years there have appeared some 250,000 books dealing with Napoleon, but this is the first modern volume to completely cover every campaign and battle which the Emperor personally conducted.
