A leading expert examines one of Napoleon's most decisive but least analysed victories In early July 1809 Napoleon crossed the Danube with 187,000 men to confront the Austrian Archduke Charles and an army of 145,000 men. The fighting that followed dwarfed in intensity and scale any previous Napoleonic battlefield, perhaps any in history: casualties on each side were over 30,000. The Austrians fought with great determination, but eventually the Emperor won a narrow victory. Wagram was decisive in that it compelled Austria to make peace. It also heralded a new, altogether greater order of warfare, anticipating the massed manpower and weight of fire deployed much later in the battles of the American Civil War and then at Verdun and on the Somme.

In early July 1809 Napoleon crossed the Danube with 187,000 men to confront the Austrian Archduke Charles and an army of 145,000 men. The fighting that followed dwarfed in intensity and scale any previous Napoleonic battlefield, perhaps any in history: casualties on each side were over 30,000. The Austrians fought with great determination, but eventually the Emperor won a narrow victory. It had not been his finest battle, however: the day was carried more by firepower (French artillery fired over 71,000 rounds) and bludgeoning than anything else.Wagram was decisive in that it compelled Austria to make peace. It also heralded a new, altogether greater order of warfare, anticipating the massed manpower and weight of fire deployed much later in the battles of the American Civil War and then at Verdun and on the Somme.This significant battle has rarely been analysed in any detail. Most of the current literature on it is French and self-serving. Gunther Rothenberg will tell for the first time the story of this immense engagement from both sides, making use of both French sources and the extensive Austrian archives.

In this third volume John H. Gill brings to a close his magisterial study of the 1809 war between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria. This final volume begins with the principal armies of both antagonists recuperating on the Danubes banks. As they prepared for the next encounter, important actions were taking place in distant theaters of war: Eugene brought his army into Hungary and won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowskis Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and future marshal Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna. These subsidiary campaigns all set the stage for the clash that would decide the war: the titanic Battle of Wagram. Second only in scale to the three-day slaughter at Leipzig in 1813, Wagram saw more than 320,000 men and 900 guns locked in two days of fury that ended with Austrian retreat. The defeat, however, was not entirely complete and Napoleon had to force yet another major engagement on the Austrians before Charles would accept a ceasefire. This under-appreciated battle at Znaim introduced an extended armistice that finally ended with a peace treaty signed in Vienna in October. Gill makes use of an impressive array of sources to present a lively account that covers the conflict from the diplomacy of emperors to the common soldiers suffering the privations of campaigning and the horrors of battle as they attempt to carry out their duties. Enriched with uncommon illustrations, more than 40 specially prepared maps, and extraordinary order of battle detail, this work concludes an unprecedented English language study of Napoleons last victorious war.

Austerlitz, Wagram, Borodino, Trafalgar, Leipzig, Waterloo: these are the places most closely associated with the era of the Napoleonic Wars. But how did this period of nearly continuous conflict affect the world beyond Europe? The immensity of the fighting waged by France against England, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and the immediate consequences of the tremors that spread throughout the world. In this ambitious and far-ranging work, Alexander Mikaberidze argues that the Napoleonic Wars can only be fully understood in an international perspective. France struggled for dominance not only on the plains of Europe but also in the Americas, West and South Africa, Ottoman Empire, Iran, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Taking specific regions in turn, Mikaberidze discusses major political-military events around the world and situates geopolitical decision-making within its long- and short-term contexts. From the British expeditions to Argentina and South Africa to the Franco-Russian maneuvering in the Ottoman Empire, the effects of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars would shape international affairs well into the next century. In Egypt, the wars led to the rise of Mehmed Ali and the emergence of a powerful state; in North America, the period transformed and enlarged the newly established United States; and in South America, the Spanish colonial empire witnessed the start of national-liberation movements that ultimately ended imperial control. Skillfully narrated and deeply researched, here at last is the global history of the period, one that expands our view of the Napoleonic Wars and their role in laying the foundations of the modern world.

"From the Congress of Vienna to the Austria World Summit, the city of Vienna has hosted key meetings on peace to climate action. This is a first-class book about Vienna as the crossroads of civilization and as the international capital." —Arnold Schwarzenegger A rich and illuminating history of the world capital that has transformed art, culture, and politics. Vienna is unique amongst world capitals in its consistent international importance over the centuries. From the ascent of the Habsburgs as Europe's leading dynasty to the Congress of Vienna, which reordered Europe in the wake of Napoleon's downfall, to bridge-building summits during the Cold War, Vienna has been the scene of key moments in world history. Scores of pivotal figures were influenced by their time in Vienna, including: Empress Maria Theresa, Count Metternich, Bertha von Suttner, Theodore Herzl, Gustav Mahler, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, John F. Kennedy, and many others. In a city of great composers, artists, and thinkers, it is here that both the most positive and destructive ideas of recent history have developed. From its time as the capital of an imperial superpower, through war, dissolution, dictatorship to democracy Vienna has reinvented itself and its relevance to the rest of the world.

Bogen handler om om den østrigske Ærkehertug Charles og den Østrig-Ungarske hær, under Habsburgerne, Napoleon's "store fjende og modstander", men som idag er blegnet og næsten glemt, modsat bl.a. Wellington og Blücher. Bogen forsøger at råde bod på dette, og beskrive den østrigske hærs historie under Napoleonstiden. Den bygger på omfattende forskning i den østrigske hærs arkiver. "The largest force continually engaged against Napoleon and the forces of the French Revolution from 1792 to 1814 was the Austrian Army. It was this army which, throughout Europe, carried the burden of war on land. Though repeatedly defeated it always rose again. In 1809 it inflichted the first setback on Napoleon himself and in 1813 contributed the largest contingent to the allied effort in Germany". Ærkehertug Charles (Charles Louis John, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Teschen) 1771-1847, østrigsk general og feltmarskal, tredie søn af Leopold II (af det Hellige Romerske Kejserrige) var en dygtig militær hærfører og strateg, taktiker og organisator, både Wellington og Napoleon havde høje tanker om hans militære dygtighed, og han regnes stadig, trods mere eller mindre glemsel, som en af Napoleon's mest formidable militære modstandere.

Con la "riunione" della Liguria all'Impero Francese, votata dal Senato Ligure il 25 maggio 1805, vennero creati tre nuovi dipartimenti: Genova, Montenotte ed Appennini. Al Dipartimento di Montenotte vennero aggregati i circondari di Ceva, del Dipartimento della Stura, e di Acqui, del soppresso Dipartimento del Tanaro, e nel contempo il circondario di San Remo venne accorpato al Dipartimento delle Alpi Marittime. Divenuti cittadini francesi e sudditi dell'Imperatore, i liguri e i piemontesi dei nuovi dipartimenti si trovarono soggetti alla leva militare, il sistema di reclutamento che era stato introdotto in Francia nel 1798 con la legge Jourdan del 19 fruttidoro VI ed applicato ai maschi celibi che avevano raggiunto l'et� di 20 anni. Negli anni compresi tra il 1805 e il 1814 gli uomini del Dipartimento di Montenotte coinvolti furono oltre 12.000. Questo studio raccoglie 4724 schede biografiche di coscritti, tra i quali sono presenti sostituti provenienti dai comuni dei dipartimenti confinanti.
