Napoleon at Dresden
by Scott Bowden
Alexander of Russia
by Henri Troyat
In Paris and London, the crowds hailed him as the man who had conquered Napoleon, as the liberator of Europe, and as a benevolent, enlightened monarch. At home he came to be feared as a reactionary, oppressive autocrat in a country where millions of serfs were still treated as little more than personal property. A grandson of Catherine the Great, a conspirator in the assassination of his own father, and an idealistic and ineffective participant at the Congress of Vienna, Alexander was torn all his life between his liberal illusions and the hard realities of autocratic Russia. In a brilliant biography of one of the most unorthodox of Russia's tsars, Henri Troyat -- winner of the Prix Populiste and the coveted Prix Goncourt -- delivers a masterful portrait of Europe during a momentous period in its modern history. "[Troyat's] broad-brush narrative restores to center stage important personalities and their interplay in the politics of the era." -- James H. Billington, The New York Times Book Review "[A] briskly moving, richly illustrated, flesh-and-blood portrait." -- Publishers Weekly "Troyat's biography of Alexander ... turns out to be more enthralling than most of the novels I've read lately." -- Pamela Marsh, The Christian Science Monitor
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.

NAPOLEON 1812
Nicolson, Nigel
New York 1985, Harper & Row, hard bound US edition in dust, BOMC edition, VG/VG cond, 6x9, viii, 192 pp, illus & 8 maps. . Napoleon's invasion of Russia is one of the most dramatic events in history. It occupied only six months, June to December 1812, and during that period nearly half a million men died. At the start Napoleon was at the height of his power. At the end he faced the destruction of his empire. He had lost the greatest campaign he ever attempted and the largest army he ever commanded. Why did he invade Russia? Why, in spite of his early successes and the capture of Moscow, did he fail? He described the battle of Borodino as the most terrible he ever fought. The burning of Moscow was as great a disaster for him as for the Russians. Then began the famous retreat, and the destruction of the army by a combination of cold, starvation, exhaustion, Cossacks and partisans. Only a handful escaped over the Beresina. Nigel Nicolson, who visited Russia especially for this book, has drawn on the documents and memoirs of participants on both sides. He writes that his purpose is to "examine the story afresh, consider why one of the greatest commanders in history failed and one of its least gifted succeeded, how Tolstoy misinterpreted the drama, and how Hitler, 130 years later, failed to benefit from Napoleon's example . . . when he too attempted to conquer the unconquerable. And to arouse speculation, admiration and sympathy, together with despair at the folly and wastage of it all." . ISBN: 0-06-039047-6. ( more information)
