Two of the most important political figures of the nineteenth century, at least for the influence it will have on their time, shared by the poster. First of Napoleon Bonaparte, which needs no introduction, which was conquered fierce admirers including in Anglo-Saxon countries, but which is presented today as a less glorious day, at least more realistic and less draped myth. And then Carl von Clausewitz, Prussian officer and a volunteer in the Czar's army during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, which inspired the Prussian military conduct until 1914. This means its importance. Besides his Of War, kind of for a very full but sometimes indigestible by the work of Sun Tzu (The Art Of War), this analysis of Napoleon's campaign in Italy, the first in the rank of general, allows us to understand the originality of this visionary and resourceful, but also to place at fair value overall on which he leaned. And beyond that, then better understand Italian, despised by Bonaparte, torn between supporters fighting and submission to the occupier. A very thin and powerful analysis that shows how little should do things military coincidence. An exciting chronological book, very well documented, although it regrets that the Austrian army archives were never really exploited. Read this next battle after battle, with good cards to not lose.
