Napoleon at Work

First translated into English in 1914, "Napoleon at Work" is a detailed, step-by-step analysis of the military tactics and methods adopted by Napoleon Bonaparte in the time leading up to, and during, the Jena Campaign of 1806. Written by the distinguished French tactician and strategist, Colonel Vachee, this book aimed to examine and illustrate the military genius of Napoleon as it was at the very height of his career, as well as the lessons in warfare which could be learnt from him for the "battles of the future". This fascinating study explores the many elements that contributed to his success; from the organisation and movements of staff, to Napoleon"s own strategic decision-making, and, most importantly, the recognition of the necessity of a formidable leadership to achieve victory in warfare.
