Napoleon and the Campaign of 1806: The Napoleonic Method of Organisation and Command to the Battles of Jena & Auerstadt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781846777356)

Napoleon as commander and military genius

Colonel Vachee's work, previously published under the title 'Napoleon at Work', is a somewhat different view of a great Napoleonic Campaign. Vachee takes his readers through momentous events by describing them from the perspective of the Emperor and his command structure. Thus Napoleon's strategic thoughts and instructions for implementation are explained as they were applied to the Imperial Staff, his Generals, the army as a whole and its soldiers. Each aspect of the great man's genius for war and his inspirational command of his subordinates is considered, culminating in an analysis of his management of his forces on the field of battle itself which brought about the victories of Jena and Auerstadt for the French. An important and different insight into Napoleonic warfare.
