" . . . a most illuminating and readable general survey. . . . This book is well organized, well produced, and well written. It belongs among the ten most useful books on this period to the historian and . . . to the general reader." --American Historical Review "This splendid volume fills a gap in the vast outpouring of literature on the military aspects of the era of the French Revolution and Napoleon by combining a description of the major changes and trends of warfare with a comparative discussion of the French military establishment and the armies of its major opponents. . . . As another contribution to 'synthetic' history, it is a very successful exercise." --Military Affairs " . . . a splendid little study which will be of considerable interest both to the general student and specialist. . . . [it] fills a definite need for a survey of the military developments of the period and one can learn a great deal from a close reading of it." --History "A clear, lively, and well-produced survey that relies upon the best scholarship of several languages. . . . " --Library Journal In a comprehensive study of a crucial era in warfare--from the last decades of the ancient regime to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo--Rothenberg describes the organization, training methods, equipment, tactics, and strategy of France and its adversaries. He also explores staff systems, logistics, fortifications, medical services, and insurgency and counterinsurgency.
