Description
A detailed analysis of one of the greatest fighting forces ever deployed. With his Grande Armée Napoleon Bonaparte scored a streak of historic victories that gave the French an unprecedented grip on power over the European continent. At its peak it was made up of 680000 men, a huge multi-national force of officers, infantry and cavalry, artillery and support services masterminded by a superior and highly flexible system of corps, divisions, brigades and regiments. This unprecedented army was commanded by officers in which Napoleon placed a huge degree of trust and autonomy to operate within the outlines of his strategic objectives. Looking closely at how this military machine was constructed and mobilised this book will examine all aspects of the Grande Armée, from recruitment and training to what individual soldiers wore, ate, slept in and were paid, and from the chain of command, intelligence and comms to logistics and battle tactics. The legacy of Napoleons army is also assessed, together with how his organization and management initiatives influenced national armies around the world, in ways that can still be seen today.
