Monumental cornerstone work on the Revolutionary/Napoleonic Army and its
commanders. This is a thoroughly documented work of immense scholarship.
It is the treatise of an experienced and seasoned military man, whose
criticism of strategy and tactics is always intelligent and to the
point. He contributes something new to the campaigns with which he
deals, even though his main interest in them is with the careers of the
future Marshals. The French Field Armies of the Revolutionary Wars
(1793-1800) formed the military education of the future Marshals.
