About this book

Montmirail Champaubert Reims Laon Craonne Montereau Paris Each of these names is synonymous of tumultuous victories and heroic fighting. Each is them is also a sign of the genius of Napoleon as a military leader and a testimony of the sacrifice accepted by the men which followed him on the battlefields. In this new book the Authors survey the whole campaign of France stating facts and explaining the opponents views. And in the now famous third part of the book they introduce us to the main actors of the drama: marshalls and generals but also the obscure ordinary NCOs and privates of Napoleons army. And as usual in this series the intricately detailed color plates by Andr Jouineau render the richness and diversity of the uniforms of all armies involved in the Emperors most dashing campaign.
