From the dust cover:  Teh yers before the legendary Battle of Waterloo, the monarchs of England, Russia and Austria united to form a coalition of allied forces designed to defeat by might of arms the 'usurper' of the throne of France, Napoleon Bonaparte. Before the Russian and Austrian armies could unite, Napoleon boldly led his superbly-trained Grand Armée into central Europe—a famous march that signaled the beginning of three yers of momentous campaigns in Austria, Germany and Poland that forever left their indelible mark upon history. The first of those resulting campaigns, known as the Ulm-Austerlitz campaigns of 1805, are the subject of this massive, landmark study.

In NAPOLEON AND AUSTERLITZ, historian Scott Bowden brings to life the exciting, comprehensive and detailed study of Napoleon's greatest strategic triumph—Ulm—and his most impressive battlefield victory—Austerlitz. Skilfully and painstakingly drawing upon a vast array of historical sources, including the French, Austrian and Russian army archives, Bowden brings to life for the first time in the English language the complete story of the leaders, armies and bombats of the 1805 war in the valley of the majestic Danube River.

In addition to the detailed combat narrative, NAPOLEON AND AUSTERLITZ features detailed battle maps that illustrate troop movements and tactical deployments, along with accurate orders of battle.

The sweeping saga of the 1805-Ulm-Austerlitz campaigns, and the unprecedentedly detailed picture of the armies and leaders which acted out this drama, is captured in NAPOLEON AND AUSTERLITZ.
