The art of warfare in the age of Napoleon

 
From the publishers:
This book […] was first published in 1978 and concentrates on the techniques and conditions of warfare at the fighting level rather than strategic interpretation or analysis of the major commanders. As Napoleon himself once said: “There are many good generals but they see too many things at once”. Professor Rothenberg's erudite study allows both the historian and the general reader to see the wood for the trees, answering the central question: “What was Napoleonic warfare like in practice?”
