Bogen handler om om den østrigske Ærkehertug Charles og den Østrig-Ungarske hær, under Habsburgerne, Napoleon's "store fjende og modstander", men som idag er blegnet og næsten glemt, modsat bl.a. Wellington og Blücher. Bogen forsøger at råde bod på dette, og beskrive den østrigske hærs historie under Napoleonstiden. Den bygger på omfattende forskning i den østrigske hærs arkiver. "The largest force continually engaged against Napoleon and the forces of the French Revolution from 1792 to 1814 was the Austrian Army. It was this army which, throughout Europe, carried the burden of war on land. Though repeatedly defeated it always rose again. In 1809 it inflichted the first setback on Napoleon himself and in 1813 contributed the largest contingent to the allied effort in Germany". Ærkehertug Charles (Charles Louis John, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Teschen) 1771-1847, østrigsk general og feltmarskal, tredie søn af Leopold II (af det Hellige Romerske Kejserrige) var en dygtig militær hærfører og strateg, taktiker og organisator, både Wellington og Napoleon havde høje tanker om hans militære dygtighed, og han regnes stadig, trods mere eller mindre glemsel, som en af Napoleon's mest formidable militære modstandere.

"The largest force continually engaged against Napoleon and the forces of Revolutionary, later Imperial, France from 1792 to 1814 was the Imperial and Royal Austrian army. It was this army which, throughout Europe, carried the burden of the war on land. Though defeated repeatedly by Napoleon, its record against French armies generally was good. Rising from its previous defeats, in 1809, the Austrian army inflicted the first defeat on Napoleon and in 1813, contributed the largest contingent to the Allied effort in Germany." "The effects of the political, economic and social constraints are clearly explained to put the Austrian army in to the context of its day. The major campaigns and important battles are covered in detail; the strategy and tactics of its commanders are explained and analysed; the initial organisation and subsequent reforms delineated to produce a thorough survey of the Austrian army."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The largest force continually engaged against Napoleon was not the British army and Wellington, but the Imperial and Royal Austrian Army led by Archduke Charles. Gunter Rothenberg's work remains the definitive volume on the forces that inflicted the first defeat on the French and participated in all the Continental wars of the period.

One of the most colorful characters in the Napoleonic pantheon, Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742–1819) is best known as the Prussian general who, along with the Duke of Wellington, defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Throughout his long career, Blücher distinguished himself as a bold commander, but his actions at times appeared erratic and reckless. This magnificent biography by Michael V. Leggiere, an award-winning historian of the Napoleonic Wars, is the first scholarly book in English to explore Blücher’s life and military career—and his impact on Napoleon. Drawing on exhaustive research in European archives, Leggiere eschews the melodrama of earlier biographies and offers instead a richly nuanced portrait of a talented leader who, contrary to popular perception, had a strong grasp of military strategy. Nicknamed “Marshal Forward” by his soldiers, he in fact retreated more often than he attacked. Focusing on the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, Leggiere evaluates the full effects of Blücher’s operations on his archenemy. In addition to providing military analysis, Leggiere draws extensively from Blücher’s own writings to reveal the man behind the legend. Though tough as nails on the outside, Blücher was a loving family man who deplored the casualties of war. This meticulously written biography, enhanced by detailed maps and other illustrations, fills a large gap in our understanding of a complex man who, for all his flaws and eccentricities, is justly credited with releasing Europe from the yoke of Napoleon’s tyranny.

The mechanism for the operation of our military forces beyond the shores of the U.S. is the modern coalition from the grand alliance of NATO to simple bilateral relationships. Understanding the dynamics of coalition warfare is important for a U.S. Military that often finds itself operating as the dominant member of any coalition it joins. One of the major considerations listed in the portion of joint doctrine which addresses multinational coalitions is the concept of unity of effort Current U.S. Army doctrine has long recognized the importance of unity of command. However, the latest drafts of the new Army keystone doctrine publication, FM 100-5, have upgraded the principle of unity of command to unity of effort. The efficacy of this change recognizes the realities of operations in a world of coalitions, trans-governmental agencies, and private organizations all which find themselves often in league with our military as we strive to reach common (not always strictly military) objectives. This monograph will examine two historical case studies from the Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815) in order to explore the relationship between tactical and doctrinal differences between different members of the same coalition. The first case study examines the coalition army of Marshal Suvorov at the battles of the Trebbia and Novi in 1799. The second example will move forward in time to the Russo-Prussian army of the spring of 1813 and its performance at the battles of Lützen and Bautzen. Although history does not provide us with exact recipes for implementing complex solutions in a complex world, it does provide a means to understand the dynamics of human behavior on a vast scale. The Napoleonic period represents a veritable laboratory of coalition warfare and provides a means of applying the lessons of a historical period to understanding the dynamics of coalitions.

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great offers a considerable range of topics, of interest to students and academics alike, in the long tradition of this subject’s significant impact, across a sometimes surprising and comprehensive variety of areas. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilisation touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to “own” some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander’s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.

In Napoleon and the Operational Art of War, the leading scholars of Napoleonic military history provide the most authoritative analysis of Napoleon’s battlefield success and ultimate failure. Napoleon’s development and mastery of the operational art of warfare is revealed as each chapter analyzes one Napoleonic war or major campaign of a war. To achieve this, the essays conform to the common themes of Napoleon’s planning, his command and control, his execution of plans, and the response of his adversaries. Napoleon's sea power and the British response to the French challenge at sea is also investigated. Overall, this volume reflects the finest scholarship and cutting-edge research to be found in Napoleonic Military History. Contributors include Jonathan Abel, Robert M. Citino, Huw Davies, Mark T. Gerges; John H. Gill; Jordan Hayworth, Kenneth G. Johnson, Michael V. Leggiere, Kevin D. McCranie, Alexander Mikaberidze, Frederick C. Schneid, John Severn, Dennis Showalter, Geoffrey Wawro, and John F. Weinzierl.
