Overview

In August 1805, Napoleon abandoned his plans for the invasion of Britain and diverted his army to the Danube valley to confront Austrian and Russian forces in a bid for control of central Europe. The campaign culminated with the Battle of Austerlitz, regarded by many as Napoleon's greatest triumph, whose far reaching effects paved the way for French hegemony on the Continent for the next decade. In this concise volume, acclaimed military historian Gregory Fremont-Barnes uses detailed profiles to explore the leaders, tactics and weaponry of the clashing French, Austrian and Russian forces. Packed with fact boxes, maps and more, Napoleon's Greatest Triumph is the perfect way to explore this important battle. AUTHOR: Gregory Fremont-Barnes is senior lecturer in War Studies at Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and an authority on nineteenth-century military and naval history. He was the editor of The Encyclopedia of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and the Encyclopedia of the Age of Political Revolutions and New Ideologies 1760-1815, and author of many other titles. He lives in Surrey. 50 b/w illustrations
