A review by binstonbirchill
The Campaigns of Napoleon by David G. Chandler

5.0

If you lack knowledge of The Napoleanic Wars and don't mind spending a good chunk of money to rectify that problem then this is the book to get. Chandler does an amazing job of describing both Napoleon and his campaigns. The focus is obviously on the French but the opposing side is described and analysed in each campaign to give a better picture of what Napoleon did or didn't accomplish and how. In depth looks at strategy and to a lesser extent tactics make this book a must read for anyone interested in the subject. There were occasionally a few wasted pages that summarized what was already said in the previous chapter(s) but instances of that were minimal.
