OverviewIn this authoritative and beautifully illustrated new account of Napoleon's greatest victory and the campaign that preceded it, Ian Castle sheds new light on the actions of the commanders and questions the assumptions - and explores the myths - that have shaped our understanding of the event ever since. His account follows every twist and turn of a war that was fought out across central Europe two centuries ago. In particular he reconstructs the course of the action in every sector of the Austerlitz battlefield, using French, Austrian and Russian records, and re-evaluates the place of the battle in the history and mythology of the Napoleonic era.

His books include studies of the battles of Aspern and Wagram as well as volumes on the Zulu War and Majuba Hill. 60 b/w images Full Product DetailsAuthor: Ian CastlePublisher: Pen & Sword Books Ltd Imprint: Pen & Sword Military ISBN: 9781526752529ISBN 10: 1526752522 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 01 April 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
