商品簡介
Twenty-two previously published articles on the complex era of European warfare during the era of Napoleon are gathered in this volume, in facsimile of their original publication. The articles are grouped by major topic--contexts, the French armies, the European armies, and Britain's war with France--with individual topics that include conflict of command in the Russian Army in 1812, Denmark in the Napoleonic wars, and the collapse of the Second Coalition. Among the journals in which the articles originally appeared are German history, French historical studies, Journal of modern history, and Selected papers of the consortium on revolutionary Europe. Schneid (High Point U., North Carolina) contributes a lengthy introduction detailing the major events and issues of warfare in this period, complete with bibliography. The volume contains a name, but no subject index. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
