Sixty Battles: The Complete Battles of Napoleon Bonaparte - From Toulon to Waterloo

“I have fought sixty battles and have learnt nothing which I did not know in the beginning…” So said Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the greatest – and perhaps the greatest – military commanders to ever grace a battlefield. Yet how true was this statement? In this ground-breaking new book, military historian Ricky D Phillips tackles exactly this question and lists, for the first time, the entire battlefield career of Napoleon, battle by battle, from the very first to the very last, discussing his tactics, his strategies and compiling the methods by which he waged war in a dazzling career spanning three decades. With each battle laid out in strategic context, along with an easy-to-read grid system for statistics, facts and figures, all compounded with his own fast-paced narrative and with battle maps aplenty, Ricky D Phillips presents a stunning new chapter of Napoleonic history, uncovering the battles of Napoleon piece by piece in a way never before attempted. “Sixty Battles” is the first book to cover every single battle in Napoleon’s career in depth and detail and is set to become the cornerstone of any Napoleonic library.
