Poland - February 1807: Ill-prepared and in severe winter weather, Napoleon and his Grande Armée won a costly - and hollow - victory over the Russians at the Battle of Eylau. On the cusp of victories over the Prussians in 1806, Napoleon was in Poland to settle things with the Czar. Towards the end of January Russian General Bennigsen's army had gone on the offensive in East Prussia. Napoleon reacted by unleashing his own offensive to the north in the hope of , hoping to cutting off Bennigsen's retreat. The scene was set for a bloody confrontation between two enemies who seldom yielded. A costly frontal attack and an outstanding massed cavalry charge by the French earned a close win but not an end to the war - that would not come until mid-June when the Czar's army was caught in a bottle-neck at Friedland. It was a turning point in the success of French arms and was the first check to Napoleonic invincibility.

Napoleon's 1807 campaign against the Russians came close to being his first defeat. At Eylau the Emperor was outnumbered by the army of the Russian commander Bennigsen, yet he accepted battle. His reputation was saved by the flamboyant Murat, who led one of the greatest cavalry charges in history. Christopher Summerville's gripping account of this bitterly fought clash and of Napoleon's subsequent triumph at Friedland is the first extensive study of the campaign to be published for a century. The story is told in the concise, clear Campaign Chronicles format which records the action in vivid detail, day by day, hour by hour. Included are full orders of battle showing the chain of command and the fighting capabilities of the opposing armies.

The Prussian army at war against Napoleon The author of this book has chosen as his subject the campaigns of the Prussian army during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically between the humiliating defeat of his countrymen at the Battle of Jena in October of 1806 and the next major conflict at the Battle of Eylau in February of 1807. The author has an understandably partisan motivation, but nevertheless this is an in-depth, serious and thorough historical analysis of a time and conflict that is rarely covered in books available in the English language and it will therefore be a welcome addition to the libraries of those interested in the Napoleonic Wars as they touched the continental European powers. Goltz is clear in his condemnation of the performance of the Prussian Army in 1806, but asserts that it redeemed itself in early 1807 by its performance at Eylau and his books tracks the performance of the Prussian forces from their darkest hour to, perhaps, the first glimmer of light from potential success against the hitherto invincible French under Napoleon. Certainly the consequences of the defeat at Jena were more far reaching for Prussia than could be remedied by the outcome at Eylau. Indeed, whilst L'Estocq's corps acquitted itself well at Eylau within a principally Russian force, that alone was insufficient to claim a victory of Prussian arms in a bloody stalemate of a battle that ultimately benefited none of its protagonists to any degree strategically. So this is the account of an army finding its worth after defeat and gathering itself at the beginning of the long road that would ultimately lead to the rout and vengeance at Waterloo. Available in softback and hardcover with dust jacket for collectors.

The victories and accomplishments of Napoleon and his Grand Army are legendary. Yet, on the bloody field of Eylau, Napoleon lost both his prestige and over one third of his Army. How did this Russian Army of notably inferior weapons, tactics, organization and leadership stave off defeat and almost achieve victory? The Campaign cost Napoleon over 43,000 casualties and proved indecisive. The campaign and Battle of Eylau, ruined Napoleon's image of invincibility and completely gutted the Grand Army of a wealth of leadership and experience. Over twenty general officers were killed or seriously wounded at Eylau. Subsequently, Napoleon would have to consistently rely on more conscripts and foreign troops to fill his depleted ranks. Napoleon's Army would never again resemble the previously invincible Grand Army that died on the blood soaked snows of Poland.

Nessuna delle grandi battaglie napoleoniche è circondata da tanti dubbi ed incertezze quanto la battaglia di Eylau. Realtà, mito e propaganda sono mischiati tra loro quasi inestricabilmente, e i vari autori danno interpretazioni contrastanti su pressoché tutti gli aspetti e le varie fasi della lotta. Tutti concordano sul fatto che fu un olocausto, combattuto in condizioni atmosferiche quasi impossibili, ma si trovano d’accordo su ben poche altre cose. David G. Chandler, Le campagne di Napoleone. Eylau: una vittoria di Pirro, l’inizio del crepuscolo, un crepuscolo che avvertiamoin Balzac e Gros, un crepuscolo che ritarderà Friedland. Sarà lì che la Grande Armée, quella di Austerlitz e di Jena, prenderà congedo... l’epopea guerriera è finita. Inizia l’epoca delle battaglie dall’esito incerto... Jean Tulard, Dictionnaire amoreux de Napoléon. La battaglia di Preussisch- Eylau, combattuta in condizioni climatiche estreme, sotto bufere di neve e temperature di molto sotto lo zero tra la Grande Armée e i russi di Benningsen l’otto febbraio 1807, è stata definita la più epica delle battaglie di Napoleone, quella che vide la carica di cavalleria più grande della storia, guidata da Murat alla testa di oltre diecimila cavalie-ri, ma anche la più controversa. Per la prima volta, dopo i trionfi di Ulm, Austerlitz e Jena Napoleone venne fermato: per tutta la giornata la vittoria restò in bilico, e solo a notte fonda la ritirata russa lasciò Napoleone padrone del campo di battaglia; ma sarà necessaria un’altra batta-glia a Friedland, quattro mesi dopo, per spingere lo zar Alessandro I a chiedere la pace. Ad Eylau iniziò il crepuscolo del sole sorto sui campi di Austerlitz, un crepuscolo che tinse la neve di un color rosso sangue, foriero di ben più gravi avvenimenti. Dopo aver analizzato gli eserciti in campo e la loro organizzazione ed esposte le campagne di Ulm, Austerlitz e Jena nel 1805- 1806, si approfondirà la campagna di Polonia sino alla battaglia di Eylau, narrata approfonditamente, ora per ora, sulla base dei documenti e delle testimonianze dei protagonisti, sino a giungere alla vittoria di Friedland.

Excerpt: The Peninsular War was a war between France and the allied powers of Spain, the United Kingdom, and Portugal for control of the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars. The war began when French and Spanish armies crossed Spain and invaded Portugal in 1807. Then, in 1808, France turned on its ally, Spain. The war lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated Napoleon in 1814. The conflict is regarded by some historians as one of the first national wars and is also significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare (guerrilla means "little war" in Spanish), from which the English language borrowed the word. The French occupation destroyed the Spanish administration, which fragmented into quarrelling provincial juntas. In 1810, a reconstituted national government fortified itself in Cadiz and proved unable to recruit, train, or equip effective armies due to being under siege. British and Portuguese forces secured Portugal, using it as a secure position from which to launch campaigns against the French army while Spanish guerrilleros bled the occupiers. Combined, the regular and irregular allied forces prevented Napoleon's marshals from subduing the rebellious Spanish provinces. The many years of fighting in Spain gradually wore down France's famous Grande Armee. While the French armies were often victorious in battle, their communications and supplies were severely tested and their...

Napoleon s great victory over Prussia at Jena, with the associated victory by the dogged Marshal Davout at Auerstadt on the same day (14th October 1806) marked the summit of Napoleon s brilliant career, and the low point of Prussian military power first established by Frederick the Great in the previous century. The twin battles also shattered the fourth allied coaltion against France, although Prussia doggedly battled on. The following year, (February 1807) Napoleon scored another victory over Prussia at Eylau, a savage battle fought in a snowstorm. But the heavy French losses made Eylau a Pyhrric victory, and the author of this book - from a distinguished Prussian military family - argues that the battle also marked a resurgence of Prussian fortunes and laid the foundation for its later and final triumphs over Napoleon at Leipzig and Waterloo. This book is a classic account of a key moment in the Napoleonic wars that should not be missed.Offer expires 31March 2008

After his crushing defeat of Prussia in 1806, Napoleon marched into Poland to forestall any Russian attempts to come to the aid of their ally. There then followed the bloody battle in a blizzard at Eylau on 8 February 1807, which decimated both armies. Operations resumed in the spring and on 14 June Napoleon wrecked the Russian field army at Friedland. Napoleon and Emperor Alexander met at Tiltsit, and French mastery of north-west Europe was confirmed.This is the first book to bring together dozens of Russian letters, memoirs and diaries, with authors ranging from the commander-in-chief (Benningsen) to NCOs. We see the brutal conditions of the winter campaign at first hand, and gain fresh insight into the infamous Treaty of Tiltsit and the diplomatic manoeuvring that followed it.
