Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Napoleon at Bay, 1814: With Maps and Plans This volume will appear almost precisely one hundred years after the commencement of the campaign which it describes. As in the case of the author´s four previous histories of Napoleon´s campaigns, it deals only with the purely military side of the war, politics being referred to only in so far as they actually influenced directly the course of military operations. Further, it is confined to the operations in which Napoleon was personally and directly engaged. Therefore, no attempt is made to deal with the campaigns of Soult and Suchet against Wellington, with the blockade of Davout in Hamburg or of the other fortresses in Germany, with Maison´s campaign in the Netherlands, with Eugene´s in Italy, or even with Augereau´s movements about Lyons. The latter, feeble though they were, certainly did exercise a considerable influence on the allied movements, especially in the end of February; but it was mainly unfounded alarm which influenced Schwarzenberg, and the details of Augereau´s advance and retreat are of little interest.
