In July 1809 Napoleon crossed the Danube with 187,000 men to confront the Austrian Archduke Charles and his 145,000 strong army at Wagram on the plains east of Vienna. The Austrians fought with great determination, but eventually the Emperor won a narrow victory, the day being carried by superior French firepower. Wagram compelled Austria to make peace and heralded a new order of warfare, anticipating the massed manpower and weight of fire deployed later in the battles of the American Civil War and at Verdun and on the Somme. Appendices include Orders of Battle for the actions at Aspern - Essling, and Wagram itself (Published: 2004) (Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson) (ISBN: 0297846728) (Pagination: 271pp, 18 colour illustrations, notes, appendices) (Condition: ) UL-XXXXXX

Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2004. New book, 271 pages. The Battle of Wagram, fought on the plains east of Vienna on 5-6 July 1809, was Napoleon's last decisive victory. When the defeated Austrian Army was forced from the battlefield on the evening of 6 July, it left Napoleon not just master of the battlefield but poised to consolidate his grip across central and eastern Europe. At Wagram, in defeating the only European land power able to challenge him, Napoleon paved the way to the highpoint of his dominance in Europe. Lucid, comprehensive and authoritative, this book is the definitive account of one of the major conflicts of the Napoleonic Wars, a battle which changed the face not just of warfare but of Europe itself..
