2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great military history despite a missing pageBy David J. MaschekThis reprint of a 1931 book is almost the only English-language military history for the War in the Vendee; the War in the Pyrenees and the war in Italy before 1796. (For the 1796 campaign in Italy; read Martin Boycott-Brown's splendid "Road to Rivoli".) As such the book is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in the French Revolutionary Wars. The Siege of Toulon is also covered; but that story is given in other English-language sources such as David Chandler. As in volumes 1 and 2; Ramsay Phipps not only notes the careers of the future Napoleonic marshals but other important figures as well; such as army commanders (e.g.; Dumerbion; Scherer; Dugommier) and other officers. Those students of obscure campaigns can read; for example; how the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees was constantly seeing its generals denounced and guillotined by its overbearing "representatives-on-mission" while the Army of the Western Pyrenees did not suffer from that problem. There is a serious printing error: page 269 is missing while page 267 is printed twice.
