The Campaigns of Napoleon is a masterful analysis and insightful critique of Napoleon's art of war as he himself developed and perfected it in the major military campaigns of his career. Napoleon disavowed any suggestion that he worked from formula (?Je n'ai jamais eu un plan d'opérations?), but military historian David Chandler demonstrates this was at best only a half-truth.

(The Boston Globe) and this definitive work is ?a fine book for the historian, the student, and the intelligent reader? (The New York Review of Books).…
