"The aim of this ground-breaking new book is to re-assess twelve outstanding generals of Napoleon's wars in the light of recent research. They include every one of the era's most famous commanders: Napoleon, Moore, Wellington, Archduke Charles, Blucher and Kutusov, as well as other important, but less familiar men. Never before have all these great generals been described in depth in the same volume and their extraordinary contrasts provide a powerful new insight into the meaning of military greatness."--BOOK JACKET.
