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.

Fighting on many fronts and taken somewhat by surprise, Napoleon was quick to go on the offensive and won a succession of victories at Landshut, Eckmühl and Ratisbon before suffering his first defeat in a field battle at Aspern-Essling. Retiring to Vienna, the French re-equipped and reinforced before launching a decisive attack across the Danube from the Isle of Lobau. The resulting battle of Wagram was the bloodiest confrontation in the Napoleonic Wars up to that time with a massive casualty list of probably 80,000 men. Decisive as the French victory was, it was the 'apogee' of his empire and settled little more than strengthening the resolve of the major powers to resist Napoleonic domination. Two more allied coalitions would follow - there would be more French victories over the following six years - but the 1809 campaign was the last successful campaign Napoleon would conduct.The campaign of 1809 is naturally dominated by the major decisive encounter of the campaign - the Battle of Wagram. This book is not a major study of the battle, but rather a guide for the component units of the armies present at the battle. This fourth volume in the series 'Orders of Battle' is the latest in a trilogy of Napoleonic battle reference studies tailored for the enthusiast or war gamer, who wishes to possess a handy and detailed manual covering the forces present. Like previous volumes in the series, it is intended to be as concise and realistic (as possible) a representation of the regiments, squadrons and artillery batteries present at Wagram on 5/6th July 1809. Supply, logistics and medical sections of each army have been researched and included as well - essential as they were to keep each force in the field. For Commanders. Staff officers, Colonels and units present, extensive use has been made of available orders of battle to ensure accuracy representing the individual units involved. Exhaustive research has also been made of the uniforms worn and the flag standards carried by the individual regiments to give an accurate visual interpretation of the way each unit would have appeared in the battle. A scale of 1:10 has been used to help visualise an accurate image of the actual size of each unit, be it battalion, squadron or battery. The text describing the unit is usually in the national language of that unit unless this deters significantly from what is basically an English language work. A brief synopsis of the armies and the battle itself completes this work.

The Archduke Charles was the most formidable of Napoleons continental foes but only once came into direct conflict with him: this was in the 1809 Franco-Austrian campaign in the Danube Valley.Smarting from Austrias humiliations in 1805, the Archduke launched a surprise attack upon the French whilst Napoleon was occupied in distant Spain. Outnumbered, the French faced disaster but, with typical energy and decisiveness Napoleon arrived just in time. In five days of marching and fighting he repulsed the Austrians at Abensburg and Eckmhl. The road to Vienna was now oPen & he pushed on but he underestimated his enemy, being thrown back by the Archduke Charles as he tried to cross the Danube.Failing to follow up his success, the Archduke hesitated too long and when Napoleon attempted to cross the river a second time, at the Battle of Wagram, he succeeded.F. Loraine Petres penetrating analysis of this pivotal campaign was first published in 1909 on the centenary of the great conflict, to become one of his celebrated series of works on Napoleons wars.

“A very impressive piece of work, and it is unlikely to be surpassed for many years . . . A very valuable guide to Napoleon’s last great victory” (HistoryOfWar.org). With this third volume, John Gill brings to a close his magisterial study of the war between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria. The account begins with both armies recuperating on the banks of the Danube. As they rest, important action was taking place elsewhere: Eugene won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowski’s Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna. These campaigns set the stage for the titanic Battle of Wagram. Second only in scale to the slaughter at Leipzig in 1813, Wagram saw more than 320,000 men and 900 guns locked in two days of fury that ended with an Austrian retreat. The defeat, however, was not complete: Napoleon had to force another engagement before Charles would accept a ceasefire. The battle of Znaim, its true importance often not acknowledged, brought an extended armistice that ended with a peace treaty signed in Vienna. Gill uses an impressive array of sources in an engaging narrative covering both the politics of emperors and the privations and hardship common soldiers suffered in battle. Enriched with unique illustrations, forty maps, and extraordinary order-of-battle detail, this work concludes an unrivalled English-language study of Napoleon’s last victory. “Sheds new light on well-known stages in the battle . . . he has covered more than just an epochal battle in a magnificent book that will satisfy the most avid enthusiasts of Napoleonic era military history.” —Foundation Napoleon

The 1809 campaign on the Danube was to break the spell of Napoleon's invincibility. Indeed Wagram - the largest battle in history at the time - was Napoleon's revenge for his first personal defeat on the battlefield - at Aspern - Essling. In gaining this revenge the French commander was not wholly successful. Although the French did indeed win the battle as the Austrians eventually quit the field, the victory was an extremely hollow one. Not only was there no rout or pursuit - the Austrian troops left in good, disciplined order, simply marching off the field - but also it was quite possibly the French who lost more men at the end of the day: approximately 27,500 killed and wounded, with an additional 10,000 missing or taken prisoner. In contrast the Austrians probably lost 23,750 killed and wounded, 7,500 prisoners and about 10,000 missing. Many, however, of the latter returned to their regiments after the battle thus perhaps making the total Austrian loss less than that of the French. Both these two day battles are described by Ian Castle in this volume, with detailed maps and graphics that afford the reader the opportunity to follow the many changes of fortune during the epic battles, as each side captured, lost, then recaptured key positions.
