About the Book

Robert Epstein contends that Napoleon's 1809 campaign represented a paradigm shift in warfare, ushering in the era of modern war: massive armies; multiple theatres of operation; new command-and-control systems; increased firepower; frequent stalemates; and massive slaughter. He offers an account of Napoleon's last successful major campaign, advancing his theory that it represented a turning point in the evolution of warfare. The book has been recommended as a selection of the History Book Club.

Review :
"A refreshingly new interpretation. A fine and thought-provoking book that provides valuable insights into the changing nature of warfare during the Napoleonic era."--Infantry "A clear and convincing argument that modern war began with the Franco-Austrian War. This book is a delight to read and puts forth an interesting perspective of warfare."--Army "A detailed yet readable account of the Franco-Austrian War of 1809, which is considered Napoleon's last successful major campaign. Epstein advances the theme that this campaign marked a major turning point in the evolution of warfare. Highly recommended."--Library Journal "An impressive contribution to Napoleonic scholarship, and to the study of modern military history as well. Highly recommended."--Choice "A must for any collection on the Napoleonic Wars."--Dennis E. Showalter, author of Tannenberg: Clash of Empires "A major contribution to our understanding not only of Napoleonic but also Moltkean warfare."--Gunther Rothenberg, author of The Art of Warfare in the Age of Napoleon
