Inhalt:

From defeat to counter-attack in the footsteps of Hannibal George Furse was a colonel of the Black Watch regiment and an accomplished military historian and author. His writing was never less than serious, well researched and comprehensive. For 'The Second War of Coalition' (originally published under the inadequate title 'Marengo and Hohenlinden') Furse has referenced source material originally published in the French language including first-hand recollections and official documents. This Leonaur edition is being published in two unique volumes to enable us to include, for the first time, numerous illustrations of the events described. Volume one commences in 1799 as Napoleon Bonaparte was elevated from solely military rank to First Consul of France. The war, as described here, was initially well fought by the Austrians and the Russians, so that the French were cast out of Italy retaining only footholds in Genoa and on the Ligurian shore. Napoleon then employed his military genius to invade Italy by a master-stroke-crossing his army over the Alps. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
