Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on under utilized military records in Austrian, French, and Italian archives, Phillip Cuccia integrates political and social issues with a campaign study. Unlike other military histories of the era,
Napoleon in Italy brings to light the words of soldiers, leaders, and citizens who experienced sieges firsthand.
Trade ReviewDrawing on research in French, Austrian, private, and numerous Italian archives, Colonel Cuccia's authoritative study of the sieges of Mantua during Napoleon's conquest of Italy will be the standard work on the subject for decades. The author's firsthand knowledge of the terrain, exhaustive research, and military background have enabled him to produce the definitive work on a well-known but little-studied aspect of the Napoleonic Wars.""- Michael V. Leggiere, author of
The Fall of Napoleon: The Allied Invasion of France, 1813 - 1814
