Short biographies of some great generals.By Kevin M QuiggAn interesting read. The author Uffindell offers a perspective of great generals of the Napoleonic era. Some I agree with; others I don't. In this book; 14 generals are reviewed; with a focus on ten. I'm not sure Napoleon's stepson rates as a great general (though he was loyal). I am also not sure why he feels Ney and Murat do not rate in his category. However the author does a good job of detailing the lives of these generals; and one battle illustrating the general's greatness.This is an interesting read. There are so many books about the Napoleonic Wars; but the short biographies were very interesting. The battle examples brought out how battles were fought 190 years ago. A nice read.
