The History of Warfare: the Napoleonic wars

 
From the Publisher
“Napoleon inherited the armies of the French Revolution that had overthrown a monarchy–and used them to conquer a continent on a scale never seen before. Napoleon developed what was perhaps the world's first “superpower,” setting a pattern that would come to fruition in the twentieth century. From descriptions of Bonaparte's rise; through the years of the Second Coalition and the Grande Armée; to the heights of victory and the depths of defeat at Waterloo.”
