Great Generals of the Napoleonic Wars and Their Battles, 1805-1815

Few periods of history have been so prolific in great generals as the Napoleonic Wars and now, for the first time ever, twelve of these outstanding military commanders - including Napoleon, Wellington, Blucher, Kutusov and Archduke Charles - are featured in one ground-breaking volume. Each chapter describes a general's life and career, analyses his strengths and weaknesses, and gives a vivid account of one of his battles by way of illustration.
