Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Napoleon as a General, Vol. 2 The favourable reception given to my bold attempt to criticize Napoleon´s strategical conceptions has served as a stimulus to me to complete the second part, which was indeed already far advanced despite of many difficulties which had to be encountered. I hope the reading public may give the same reception to this, the concluding portion. For the early appearance of the volume my thanks are due to Lieutenant v. Kameke, of the Emperor Alexander´s Grenadier Guard Regiment, who has taken the trouble to draw the map of the Russian theatre of war. I must repeat with regard to this part what I said with regard to the first. I have in no way tried to write an exact and complete history of the Napoleonic campaigns, but have confined myself to a consideration of the points which were necessary to form a proper judgment on the French General. In the first volume I endeavoured to follow the course of the rising star of the General and to admire its constantly increasing brilliance. In the second I try to describe its path and show the inherent weaknesses which led to its decline from the zenith. If in the first portion I seem to have yielded too much to the aspirations of the poet who said, "I love the man who strives beyond his might," I trust in the second I have not been oblivious of the warnings of the same writer: The man you choose is various and great, His deeds will serve you long for much reflection; Yet strive to learn from his untoward fate He is not fitted as a model for selection.
