Once There Were Titans: Napoleon's Generals and Their Battles, 1800-1815

3 reviews

Greenhill Books, 2007

History revitalised
Dry facts devoid of emotion are the stuff of some histories. This is precisely what you will not find in Kevin Kiley's 'Once Were Titans'. This account of the exploits and careers of several famous and not so famous French generals of the Napoleonic era is visceral. The reader can metaphorically smell the powder, hear the acclamations and witness the battlefields these miltary titans dominated. ...

good entry level read
I have recently bought this book along with a couple of Osprey on British and French infantry tactics during Napoleonic wars. Put it very briefly, get this book instead of the Ospreys. It covers not only infantry, cavalry, artillery but also naval warfare. The book gives numerous lively examples and accounts about the different achievements of each arm. One can find numerous battles explained ...

Greenhill Books, 2006

Everthing you could want to know........
This is the most comprehensive account of artillery during the Napoleonic wars I think you could hope to read (if anyone has an alternate please do review and add reference). It is a lucid and at times exciting account of the use of artillery. I think it has covered every major action of the period including some I hadn't heard of. Not only does the book cover the engagements well, it also ...

James Burbeck, Matt Delamater, ...

Stackpole Books, 2001

After eight years of almost constant warfare, France's new leader, First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, led his country to victory over the Second Coalition. It had been a close-run thing for France as the allied nations almost won the war in 1799. A flawed strategy, poorly executed, denied the Allies the fruits of their initial victories in Italy and Germany. After popular young General Bonaparte returned from Egypt, he seized control of the ...
