Reviews

In contrast to most treatments of Napoleon's career, which rarely deal with events in which he himself was not personally in command, Napoleon's Italian Campaigns deals with military events in a theater that, after 1801, saw no operations by the Corsican Ogre. The author thus literally rescues from virtual oblivion the long neglected events in Italy, where several major campaigns occurred. Prof. Schneid treats the 1805, 1809, and 1813-1814 campaigns against Austria, and the conquest of Naples, 1805-1806, and the subsequent guerrilla war that left that kingdom unsettled throughout the period, as well as Murat's quixotic bid for domination of the Peninsula in 1815. Beyond question the most complete one volume treatment of the Napoleonic era in Italy. -NYMAS Newsletter ... people interested in the minutiae of Napoleonic warfare will find it appealing, and it does serve to fill a significant gap in our knowledge of Napoleonic warfare...the Italian wars were much more than footnotes in the story of Napoleon's defeat. -The Journal of Military History As a detailed study of a specific theater in Napoleon's dominance of Western Europe, Schenid's book is both excellent and long overdue. -Army History Schneid offers an analytical account of the Napoleonic Wars in Italy, emphasizing not only the armies, generals, strategies, tactics, and battles in this theater of war but also the motivations and rationales of the respective participants. His aim is to offer a clearer picture of the Austrians, Neopolitans, and British generals and their armies, particularly how they conducted their campaigns against the Franco-Italian forces of imperial France. A lengthy appendix lists the orders of battle and presents line-drawn battlefield maps. -Reference & Research Book News ?As a detailed study of a specific theater in Napoleon's dominance of Western Europe, Schenid's book is both excellent and long overdue.?-Army History ?...people interested in the minutiae of Napoleonic warfare will find it appealing, and it does serve to fill a significant gap in our knowledge of Napoleonic warfare...the Italian wars were much more than footnotes in the story of Napoleon's defeat.?-The Journal of Military History ?In contrast to most treatments of Napoleon's career, which rarely deal with events in which he himself was not personally in command, Napoleon's Italian Campaigns deals with military events in a theater that, after 1801, saw no operations by the Corsican Ogre.
