"In Napoleon and the Operational Art of War, the leading scholars of Napoleonic military
history provide the most authoritative analysis of Napoleon's battlefield success
and ultimate failure. Napoleon's development and mastery of the operational art of
warfare is revealed as each chapter analyzes one Napoleonic war or major campaign
of a war. To achieve this, the essays conform to the common themes of Napoleon's planning,
his command and control, his execution of plans, and the response of his adversaries.
Napoleon's sea power and the British response to the French challenge at sea is also
investigated. Overall, this volume reflects the finest scholarship and cutting-edge
research to be found in Napoleonic Military History. Contributors include Jonathan
Abel, Robert M. Citino, Huw Davies, Mark T. Gerges, John H. Gill, Jordan Hayworth,
Kenneth G. Johnson, Michael V. Leggiere, Kevin D. McCranie, Alexander Mikaberidze,
Frederick C. Schneid, John Severn, Dennis Showalter, Geoffrey Wawro, and John F. Weinzierl"
