?...people interested in the minutiae of Napoleonic warfare will
find it appealing, and it does serve to fill a significant gap in
our knowledge of Napoleonic warfare...the Italian wars were much
more than footnotes in the story of Napoleon's defeat.?-The Journal
of Military History
?As a detailed study of a specific theater in Napoleon's dominance
of Western Europe, Schenid's book is both excellent and long
overdue.?-Army History
?In contrast to most treatments of Napoleon's career, which rarely
deal with events in which he himself was not personally in command,
Napoleon's Italian Campaigns deals with military events in a
theater that, after 1801, saw no operations by the "Corsican Ogre."
The author thus literally "rescues" from virtual oblivion the long
neglected events in Italy, where several major campaigns occurred.
Prof. Schneid treats the 1805, 1809, and 1813-1814 campaigns
against Austria, and the conquest of Naples, 1805-1806, and the
subsequent guerrilla war that left that kingdom unsettled
throughout the period, as well as Murat's quixotic bid for
domination of the Peninsula in 1815. Beyond question the most
complete one volume treatment of the Napoleonic era in
Italy.?-NYMAS Newsletter
?Schneid offers an analytical account of the Napoleonic Wars in
Italy, emphasizing not only the armies, generals, strategies,
tactics, and battles in this theater of war but also the
motivations and rationales of the respective participants. His aim
is to offer a clearer picture of the Austrians, Neopolitans, and
British generals and their armies, particularly how they conducted
their campaigns against the Franco-Italian forces of imperial
France. A lengthy appendix lists the orders of battle and presents
line-drawn battlefield maps.?-Reference & Research Book News
