The following lectures aim to indicate briefly what we owe to the great captains, and to draw an intelligible outline of their careers. Caesar is the only one of the great captains who trained himself to arms. Alexander, Hannibal, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick, owed their early military training to their fathers, though, indeed, Frederick's was but the pipe-clay of war. Napoleon got his in the best school in France. But hey all have contributed to the growth of the art of war. This new large print edition, designed to make reading comfortable, is illustrated with beautiful paintings.

Napoleon And Waterloo written by A. F. Becke and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Armies categories.
A two-volume account of Napoleon s last campaign by Britain s pre-eminent military historian of the early 20th century. Writing a century after Waterloo, Becke claims that previous British authors have been too Anglocentric and biased against Bonaparte in their consideration of the campaign. As a result, he alleges, they have not appreciated the Emperor s brilliant tactics in his masterly yet simple battle plan. So Becke s book is written very much from Napoleon s point of view, and the Allied armies only appear in order to help the reader appreciate Napoleon s manoevres. An unashamed fan of Napoleon, - (he even dedicates his book, in French, to the Emperor of battles ) - Becke calls Bonaparte the greatest of all the Great Captains..the most famous of all Artillerymen and refers to the splendour of his world-wide fame. Becke cautions against hindsignt history in judging Napoleon, and explains his hero s downfall as being a result of the combined strength of the superior Allied forces ranged against him, and the treachery of Fouche, his Minister of Police, rather than his own shortcomings. Ere he fell writes Becke, Napoleon once more showed that he could handle his troops like an artist . This first volume takes the story of the Hundred Days from the Emperor s return from exile in Elba up to his despatch of the incompetent Marshal Grouchy to head off the Prussians while he faced Wellington at Waterloo. The book looks at Napoleon s strategy and tactics as well as his disposition of his Armee du Nord and the battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny. The second volume looks at the climactic confrontation between Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo itself and has a number of appendices relating to the great battle, including orders of battle of the French, British, Dutch and Prussian forces engaged and correspondence between Napoleon and Marshals Soult, Davout, Ney and Grouchy. Both volumes are illustrated with four superbly reproduced colour maps. These two handsome books are a must for anyone interested in the Napoleonic wars, especially for those seeking an antidote to Wellington-worship and the denigration of his enemy.

In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat. Hannibal will always be listed among history's greatest generals, and his military campaign in Italy during the Second Punic War will always be studied, but part of the aura and mystique surrounding the Carthaginian legend is that there is still a lot of mystery. Since Carthage was destroyed by Rome a generation after Hannibal, most of what is known about Hannibal came from the very people he tormented in the late 2nd century B.C., and thus much of his background and life story is unknown. Moreover, while military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. Great Captains: Hannibal is an authoritative history of Carthage, Hannibal, and his military exploits.
