The Victories of the Armies of Revolutionary France in Italy
Less than three years after Major Bonaparte of the artillery of the army of the Republic had effected the fall of Toulon and, in so doing, made a name for himself among the most powerful men in France, he was in command of an army the purpose of which was to defeat the might of Imperial Austria. The campaigns in Northern Italy revealed in Bonaparte a master of strategy and tactics the like of which the field of conflict had thus far never seen. The ability to judge the enemy generals movements, to always be ready to deal with a threat yet to be revealed, to manage very large bodies of men and yet to put to the task in hand no more than was essentially required to achieve the objective-all these were characteristics of the method of waging war undertaken by Napoleon as his star rose ever higher in the firmament. The Austrians would be decisively out-generalled, out-fought and out-manoeuvred in this campaign which would reach its climax at one of the future emperor's masterpieces of battle-craft-Marengo. R. G. Burton was a thorough historian who knew his subject intimately often travelling carefully over the ground of the campaigns he studied to ensure he grasped their detail. This is another interesting view of the early days of the Napoleonic epoch from Leonaur. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

NAPOLEONS CAMPAIGNS IN ITALY 1796-1797 and 1800 by BRIGADIER-GENERAL R. G. BURTON. First published in 1912. PREFACE: THE historian Gibbon tells us that war and the ad ministration of affairs are the principal subjects of history. In the opening campaign of Napoleon Bonaparte we see the conduct of events by a master of both. Especially instructive to the soldier is the first series of operations conducted by the greatest master of the art of war, whose very name sounds like a trumpet-call, and whose genius illuminates one of the most lurid and marvellous epochs in the history of the world. In the Middle Ages and until the advent of Napoleon, the art of war as exemplified in the campaigns of Alexander and Caesar had been neglected or forgotten. War had become a pageant, a stately ceremonial, governed by none of those logical principles which are based on the foundations of nature and of reason. It had degenerated into a series of manoeuvres, frequently carried out to avoid com bat, while lengthy sieges and the occupation of towns and territory were regarded as the objects of strategy, to the neglect of the true and proper object the destruction of the enemys armed forces. It fell to Napoleon Bonaparte to deduce from the ex perience of history and to illustrate in the practice of war the whole art of military operations, based on immutable principles, and exemplified in the annals of the world The first campaign in which he exercised supreme command consequently marks the opening of an epoch in the art of war, and serves as a lasting example to those who would scale the glittering pinnacle of military fame...
