Napoleon – Master of Europe – 1805-1807
150,00 DKK
Napoleon - Master of Europe - 1805-1807. Horne vividly recounts the details of battles, but more importantly gives the necessary background on military organization and technique that enables the full scale of Napoleon's achievements to come to light. Horne's only moral is that military victory abstracted from political objectives is inherently unstable, and merely leads on to further battles, as in Napoleon's invasion of Russia and failure to pursue peace. Presumably, there are lessons here for the French and American war-makers of recent vintage, but they might have learned them from experience. A nice copy however with a little wear around the edges.
