Europe's great powers formed two powerful coalitions against
France, yet force of numbers, superior leadership, and the
patriotic fervor of France's citizen-soldiers not only defeated
each in turn, but closed the era of small, professional armies
fighting for limited political objectives. This book chronicles the
period that produced commanders such as Napoleon and Nelson, whose
names remain by-words for excellence to this day. From Italy to
Egypt, this work shows how Napoleon demonstrated his strategic
genius and mastery of tactics in battles including Rivoli, the
Pyramids and Marengo. It also demonstrates how Nelson's spectacular
sea victories at the Nile and Copenhagen were foretastes of a
century of British naval supremacy.
