Description
A chronicle of the events that climaxed on the field of Austerlitz in one of the most famous battles of history, now presented in a refreshingly balanced volume.
Not only was it the first campaign Napoleon waged as Emperor of France, but also the first great test for his Grande Armée. The Emperor himself regarded it as his greatest victory, and it undoubtedly won him a mastery of Europe that would remain unbroken for almost a decade.
Most accounts of the campaign have until now been based almost exclusively on French sources. However, following extensive research in the Austrian archives, Ian Castle is now able to provide a far more balanced account of Austerlitz 1805.
