"As stated in its introduction, this book is neither a biography
nor a chronological history of Napoleon.A It is an insightful
treatise on the emperor's generalship, written by an officer in the
British army...The author's assessment is fairly objective: in
summary, that Napoleon was an innovative general and the best in
the field until the attrition of over a decade of conflict caught
up with him.A Recommended." -David Lee, Library Journal, December
2007
Library Journal
"Napoleon as a General is a readable addition to existing studies
of its subject." -David Longfellow, The Historian, Vol. 71
