Austerlitz 1805: The fate of empires

This all-new volume chronicles the events that climaxed on the field of
Austerlitz in one of the most famous battles of the Napoleonic Wars
(1799-1815). Not only was it the first campaign that Napoleon waged as
Emperor of France, but also the first great test for his Grande Armée.
The Emperor himself regarded it as his greatest victory and it
undoubtedly won him a mastery of Europe that would remain unbroken for
almost a decade. Most accounts of the campaign have until now been based
almost exclusively on French sources, but following extensive research
in the Austrian archives Ian Castle is now able to provide a far more
balanced account of Austerlitz.
