Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaigns Napoleon Bonaparte of 1796-1797 He was assigned as Chief of Artillery of the Army of Italy, and the coast batteries from the Rhone to the Var. He remained with the Army of Italy until April, 1795, and planned operations by which that army advanced by successive steps from Nice to Savona. He went on leave in April, and during a reorganization of the army was placed on waiting orders. Having declined a brigade in the Army of the West he was, in September, 1795, attached to the War Department and assigned to that branch of the topographic department, which had charge of the prepara tion of plans of campaigns for the armies of the Alps and of Italy. While on this duty, on October 5th, he was selected by General Bar ras as his second in command of the Army of the Interior to defend the central government against the attacks of the sections of Paris. His dis positions for meeting the attack were so skillful that the sections were easily repulsed. When Barras gave up the command of the Army of the Interior to become a member of the Directory, General Bonaparte was made general of division Oct. 20, 1795, and appointed commander in chief of that army. On February 23rd he was assigned to the command of the Army of Italy because of his service to the government. In Paris, and because of the great strategic ability displayed in the memoirs he had prepared for the operations of the armies of the Alps and Italy.

This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The immortal words “Not tonight Josephine!” are probably apocryphal, but in 1796 Napoleon had more pressing concerns than his amorous wife: he had been handed command of the Republican forces in Italy. His men were clothed in rags, unpaid, and hungry. Napoleon set to work with a passion, bending his senior commanders to his will (despite their seniority in both age and rank), raising morale and promising the troops what they craved—the opportunity for victory and loot! Many historians regard Napoleon’s first campaign to be his finest, using all his genius to outmanoeuvre his numerous opponents, by dividing them, hard marching and even harder fighting to destroy Austrian power in Northern Italy. In his wake, his forces garnered so many victories, it is hard to disagree: Mondovi, Lodi, Lonato, Montenotte, Arcole, and finally Rivoli. After an abortive expedition to Egypt, during which time the ruling powers in France had squandered their gains from previous engagement, Napoleon was appointed as head of state in the garb of First Consul. Using all of his powers of organization, he formulated a brilliant campaign plan to expel the ascendant Austrians from Italy: he swept through the Alps in the middle of winter behind the enemy forces. After a bloody engagement at Marengo, which hung in the balance until the arrival of French reinforcements, the Austrians were forced out of Italy and would sue for peace soon thereafter. Another excellent volume in the Special Campaigns series produced around the turn of the 20th century by serving or recently retired British and Indian Army officers. Brig-Gen. Burton wrote a number of books on Napoleon’s campaigns for the series and was an acknowledged expert on the era, applying his expert eye to the lightning moves of the Emperor contrasted by the lumbering vacillations of his opponents. Author — Brig.-General Reginald G. Burton (Indian Army) (1864-1923)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes 26 maps. The story of Napoleon’s brilliant first campaign in Italy is here expertly recounted by Elijah Adlow, former Lieutenant Colonel in the US 26th Infantry Division. “Of the many campaigns in which Napoleon participated, that in which he first exercised independent command is rich in example. In the Italian Campaign of 1796 we discover in amazing sequence those basic combinations upon which rests the structure of the art of war. What is more, the contrasting talents of the opposing commanders enable us to discover the part which spiritual as well as physical factors play in the process of war. Aside from the brilliant successes which gave him fame, Napoleon must always appeal to students of warfare because of the distinct quality of simplicity which marked all his operations. He had the talent for making himself strategically and tactically articulate. To the young soldier who seeks to discover the secret of an art whose mysteries have been revealed to but few, there is some compensation in being able to identify objectively those elements which determine the outcome of military events. If this presentation has aided in the process, its purpose will have been fulfilled.”-Author’s Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon and the Campaign of 1814 The campaign of 1814 in France, in which the courage of Napoleon's soldiers rivalled the genius of their leader, was divided into three distinct phases. The first phase lasted from January 25 to February 8, and was marked by the threaten ing advance of the allies. In vain had Napoleon conquered at Brienne, in vain had he held his own at La Rothiere against three times his own numbers. His armies were in retreat, the situa tion appeared desperate, and the end Of the war loomed near and inevitable. Napoleon felt him self powerless to stay the advance of the armies of Bohemia and Silesia, which had effected a junction with each other: he could no longer rely on his troops and could scarcely rely on himself. His one and only hope was that the enemy might commit a blunder. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
