"In this revised and extented edition of 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, Philipp R.
Cuccia, Huw Davies, Mark T. Gerges, John H. Gill, Jordan R. 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."
