1805 Austerlitz: Napoleon And The Destruction Of The Third Coalition
Goetz, Robert
ISBN: 1853676446
Greenhill Press United Kingdom 2005
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover New book, 368 pages. The Battle of Austerlitz is almost universally regarded as the most impressive of Napoleon’s many victories. The magnitude of the French achievement against a signifcantly larger army was unprecedented. In this insightful new study the author analyses the planning of the opposing forces and details the course of the battle hour by hour, describing the fierce see-saw battle around Sokolnitz, the epic struggle for the Pratzen Heights, the dramatic engagement between the legendary Lannes and Bagration in the north, and the widely misunderstood clash of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard and Alexander’s Imperial Leib-Guard. The author has produced a detailed and balanced assessment of the battle that for the first time places familiar French accounts in their proper perspective and exposes many myths regarding the battle that have been perpetuated and even embellished in recent books. With 1805: Austerlitz, the reader is left with a new appreciation of Napoleon and his Grande Armée of 1805, an army that decisively defeated not a hapless relic of the ancien régime but rather a formidable professional army that had fought the French armies on equal terms five years earlier. Robert Goetz has been studying the Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars for the past seven years, an area of specialisation that emerged from his longstanding interest in the French Revolution and Napoleonic era. He is the author of several award-winning articles concerning the Russian Army and its campaigns. As New

Illustrated with dozens of documents and portraits of the period, detailed Order of Battle lists, numerous unit flags and standards, dozens of colour plates each containing several uniforms drawn by computer artist Andre Jouineau and several campaign and battle maps, Dr E.G.

1809 Thunder on the Danube: Napoleon’s Defeat of the Habsburgs Volume I: Abensburg
Gill, John H.
ISBN: 9781844157136
Frontline Books London 2008
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover New book, 496 pages. The Franco-Austrian war of 1809 was Napoleon's last victorious war. He would win many battles in his future campaigns, but never again would one of Europe's great powers lie broken at his feet. In this respect, 1809 represents a high point of the First Empire, yet at the same time Napoleon's armies were declining in quality and he was beginning to display the corrosive flaws that would contribute to his downfall five years later. In this volume John H. Gill tackles the political background to the wars and the opening battles of Abensberg, Eggmuhl and Regensburg. He explores the motivations that prompted Austria to launch an offensive against France while Napoleon and many of his veterans were distracted in Spain. Though surprised by the timing of the Austrian attack on the 10th April, the French Emperor completely reversed a dire strategic situation with stunning blows that he called his 'most brilliant and most skilful manoeuvres'. Following a breathless pursuit down the Danube valley, Napoleon occupied the palaces of the Habsburgs for the second time in four years. As New

1809 Thunder on the Danube: Napoleon’s Defeat of the Habsburgs Volume II: The Fall of Vienna and the Battle of Aspern
Gill, John H.
ISBN: 9781848325104
Frontline Books London 2008
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover New book, 488 pages. The pivotal Franco-Austrian War of 1809 erupted on April 10th with Austria's invasion of German and Italy. After just two weeks, Napoleon had battered the Habsburg Archduke Charles in a series of bruising defeats. This volume covers the second phase of the war and begins with Napoleon astride the Danube at Regensburg. He faced a critical strategic choice - whether to pursue the injured Austrian main army into Bohemia or march directly for Vienna, the seat of Habsburg power. After electing to target Vienna, his troops defeated the Austrians in the brutal Battle of Ebelsberg, allowing him to enter the city on May 13th. However on the far side of the Danube, he then suffered a dramatic loss at the gruelling, two day battle of Apern-Essling - one of the greatest battles of the Napoleonic age and one that is considered Napoleon's 'first defeat'. While his danube forces recovered from this setback, the Emperor cleared trouble from his strategic flanks. Gill describes in vivid detail the hopeful Habsburg invasion of Italy, led by the 27 year old Arcduke Johann, and the fierce French counter-offensive inder Napoleon's stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais rebounded from initial defeat to advance triumphantly into Austrian territory, scattering Johanns' army. In the wake of Aspern, while the Austrians vacillated, Napoleon gathered every man, horse and gun around Vienna, setting the stage for the gigantic spectacle of the Battle of Wagram, the final chapter in the story of the 1809 war.

Longmans green and Co London 1953 Reprint
Hard Cover 283 pages. Jacket is in Fair condition, there is some general wear and a small piece missing at top of spine, but still presentable. Book is in Very good condition throughout. This is not so much an account of the political and social events of the five reigns he covers, as a series of detailed biographical studies of the reigning sovreigns and their families. In chapters of varying treatment, he gives the reader a vivid and sympathetic picture of their daily life and problems, their travels, and the extent of their influence in public affairs. Most important of all, perhaps, Bolitho examines the unique relationship which exists between the Royal Family and the people, not only of this country, but of the whole British Commonwealth.
