The Napoleonic Wars
by John Keegan
He inherited the armies of the French Revolution that had overthrown a monarchy -- and used them to conquer a continent on a scale never seen before. Napoleon developed what was perhaps the world's first "superpower," setting at pattern that would come to fruition in the twentieth century. From descriptions of Bonaparte's rise; through the years of the Second Coalition and the Grande Armee; to the heights of victory and the depths of defeat at Waterloo, a fascinating portrait emerges of a man and his methods.
Napoleon on the Art of War
by Jay Luvaas
In the capstone work of his career, military historian Jay Luvaas brings together in one unprecedented volume the military genius of Napoleon. Unlike Sun-Tzu or Karl yon Clausewitz, Napoleon never wrote a unified essay on his military philosophy. Yet as one of the world's great strategists and tacticians, he sprinkled wisdom throughout his many and varied writings. Jay Luvaas has spent more than three decades pouring through the 32 volumes of Napoleon's correspondence, carefully translating and editing all of his writings on the art of war, and arranging them in seamless essays. The resulting book captures the brilliant commander's views on everything from the preparation of his forces to the organization, planning, and execution of his battles -- all buttressing Napoleon's view that "in war there is but one favorable moment; the great art is to seize it". Napoleon on the Art of War will be essential reading for military buffs, students of history, and also the vast business audience that buys Sun-Tzu and other classics on leadership and the art of war.
Napoleonic Cavalry
by Philip J. Haythornthwaite
Without cavalry, Napoleon remarked, battles were without result--and it was, in fact, a most important part of the army at that time. Today's leading Napoleonic expert shows how the great cavalry commanders used, and misused, their resources. Hundreds of illustrations offer close-ups of weapons and forces. Paintings of major battles detail the cavalry deployment in all its complexity and feature valuable, unique descriptions of saber, lance, armor, and carbines. Through the author's explanations of how cavalry functioned in the skirmish line and the charge, technical debates that have raged among experts over the years are finally resolved.
Dreams of Empire
by Paul Fregosi
Examines Napoleon's military campaigns outside of Europe, including America, the West Indies, the Middle East, Africa, Ireland, Asia, and South America.
Napoleon's Lost Fleet
by Laura Foreman
Featuring more than 200 full-color illustrations--including dramatic photos of the current undersea exploration to discover Napoleon's fleet, lost off the coast of Egypt--this book provides a fascinating social and military history that reads like a Patrick O'Brian novel. Discovery Channel Special airs August 29, 1999.
