ONCE THERE WERE TITANS by Kevin F Kiley Napoleon's Grande Armée arguably had the greatest collection of military talent ever to serve one man. The role of the Marshals of the Empire has been covered many times, however, for the first time the author examines the contribution of the generals who never reached that rank. Fifty-two general officers are examined using the battles they fought to illustrate just how valuable they were. From Marengo in 1800 to Ligny in 1815, French victories and defeats are studied in meticulous detail, each chapter covering a battle fought and the generals who commanded them. 2007, Greenhill Books, , 9781853677106,< B-01>,320pp, 33 b/w illustrations, 20 maps, New in d/w, , Subject...
