Few periods of history have been so prolific in great generals as the Napoleonic Wars and now, for the first time ever, 12 of these outstanding military commanders—including Napoleon, Wellington, Blucher, Kutusov, and Archduke Charles—are featured in one ground-breaking volume. Each chapter describes a general's life and career, analyzes his strengths and weaknesses, and gives a vivid account of one of his battles by way of illustration.
