For over 20 years France was the dominating, controlling and
conquering power of the western world, a result not only of
Napoleon's inspired leadership, but of the efforts of almost an
entire generation of Frenchmen under arms. The French Revolution
heralded both social change and a seismic shift in how armies were
organized, trained and deployed.
This book provides an analysis of the preparation of French troops
from manual regulations to the training ground, studying the
changing quality of command and control within the army, which
initially ensured that the French infantry were virtually
unstoppable. Paddy Griffith not only explores the role of the
French infantry at the apex of their powers and their actions in
key battles, but also provides a detailed explanation of their
eventual decline leading to defeat at Waterloo, providing a
critical overview of French Napoleonic infantry tactics.
