- catalog abstract ""In the spring of 1796, the 26-year-old Napoleon took command of the Army of Italy -- a collection of some 60,000 ill-fed poorly-clothed and disillusioned men. He had never even served through a whole campaign, nor been involved in a major battle, much less conducted one as the commander of an army. Yet within just two months, he and his scarecrow army had knocked the Piedmontese out of the war, driven the Austrians half way across Italy, and laid siege to the fortress of Mantua, the capture of which was essential for the control of northern Italy ... Martin Boycott-Brown follows the campaign from the first Austrian attack on Napoleon's troops right through to the climactic battle of Rivoli ... Using eyewitness accounts from the memoirs and letters of participants and observers, he describes the war from both the Austrian and French sides, from the highest strategic level right down to the experience of the front line soldier, and even of the civilians caught in the cross-fire"--Dust jacket.".
