The Art Of War Of Revolutionary France, 1789-1802By Paddy Griffith
CONTENT: This brilliant new book reveals how the French revolutionary armies were able to achieve decisive success over the armies of Austria, Prussia, Britain and Spain. Paddy Griffith vividly captures the verve and excitement of these campaigns crucial to the history of Europe and clearly demonstrates that French armies were the most powerful in the world, even before they evolved into Napoleonıs legendary military machine. Covering the diverse and rich period between the Fall of the Bastille and the Peace of Amiens, this authoritative work throws new light on the character of the French armies, the merits of their generals and the performance of both during the numerous and hard-fought battles of the period. With chapters on army organisation, operations in the various theatres of war, the navy, the Representatives on Mission, the Governmentıs relationship with the armies, the armies in battle and the important personalities of the period such as Dumouriez, St Just, Jourdan, Hoche and Carnot - this book is a superb and wide-ranging insight into a key turning point in the history of warfare.
