Thanks you very much!!!0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Rather disappointed (more an introduction than meaty text)By NY film fanI disappointed enough with this book that I am returning it. I was hoping for a more intergral analysis of Napoleonic campaigns and how each marshal played a part and played off each other and how Napoleon used them against each other; not a series of short; independent; mini biographies. The sections devoted to each marshal add little new if you already know the players - merely sketch out the high and low points. A book for beginners in the Napoleonic campaigns. Missing a list or sources and references. In scanning the text I found that the author draws conclusions regarding the competencies of certain marshals that I happen to disagree with and he adds little enough justification or new material to change my thinking. Very little of their complex; individual personalities comes across. For myself; I would give it two stars but it could be a resource for some (hence 3). The factual information is accurate if presented dryly.
