Description
The wars between 1792 and 1815 saw the making of the modern world, with Britain and Russia the key powers to emerge triumphant from a long period of bitter conflict.
In this innovative book, The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, Jeremy Black focuses on the strategic contexts and strategies involved, explaining their significance both at the time and subsequently.
Reinterpreting French Revolutionary and Napoleonic warfare, strategy, and their consequences, he argues that Napoleon’s failure owed much to his limitations as a strategist. Black uses this framework as a foundation to assess the nature of warfare, the character of strategy, and the eventual ascendance of Britain and Russia in this period.
Rethinking the character of strategy, this is the first history to look holistically at the strategies of all the leading belligerents from a global perspective. It will be an essential read for military professionals, students, and history buffs alike.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars by Jeremy Black offers a nuanced analysis of the strategic approaches of all the major belligerents during this transformative period of European history. Instead of centring the narrative on radical change or Napoleon’s military genius, Black evaluates the broader strategic environment, providing fresh insights into Napoleon's strategic missteps, like his failure to forge strong diplomatic alliances. The work is praised for its holistic perspective, engaging prose, and is considered essential for scholars examining Napoleonic strategy and the political dynamics of that era.
