Title: Austerlitz 1805: The Fate of Empires (Campaign Series, 2) by Ian Castle, Christa Hook, David G. Chandler ISBN: 1-84176-136-2 Publisher: Osprey Pub Co Pub. Date: April, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.14 (7 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent reworking
Comment: A classic example of how beating an opponent too easily breeds hatred, Austerlitz stands out in history as a masterpiece of strategy and tactics by Napoleon at his peak. This book is an excellent study and introduction to one of the most famous battles in history. 4 of 5 stars, only for want of length.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Beginning
Comment: Austerlitz 1805: Battle of the Three Emperors (Osprey Military Campaign Series, No. 2)by David G. Chandler is a good start for anyone who wants to learn more about the Austerlitz campaign and Napoleon's rise to European ascendency. The author, David Chandler, is one of the recognized experts on Napoleon and for that reason alone the book is worthwhile.
It is written in the traditional Ospery style and is very readable. The weakest part of the book is the discussion of the effect of the battle and the historical place that it holds. However, that might be a structural fault of the Ospery format.
There are numerous holes in the battle description which can be explained by the limited space avaliable. However, if one wants an overview in order to put more extensive histories into context, this is a good place to start.
