Description
The Grande Armée of Napoleon Bonaparte is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest fighting forces ever deployed. With it, the French scored a streak of historic victories that gave them an unprecedented grip on power over the European continent. At its peak, it was made up of 680,000 men, a huge multinational force of officers, infantry and cavalry, artillery, and support services.
This force was masterminded by a superior and highly flexible system of corps, divisions, brigades, and regiments, commanded by officers in whom Napoleon placed a huge degree of trust and autonomy to operate within the outlines of his strategic objectives.
Napoleon's Military Machine takes a close look at how this military machine was constructed and mobilised. This book examines all aspects of the Grande Armée, from individual soldiers—their attire, diet, living conditions, and salaries—to the chain of command, recruitment, training, intelligence, communications, logistics, and battle tactics.
The legacy of Napoleon's army is also assessed, highlighting how his organisational and management initiatives influenced national armies around the world in ways that can still be seen today.
