Napoleon In Italy, 1796-1797 by Lt.-Col. Elijah Adlow Pdf
Includes 26 maps. The story of Napoleon’s brilliant first campaign in Italy is here expertly recounted by Elijah Adlow, former Lieutenant Colonel in the US 26th Infantry Division. “Of the many campaigns in which Napoleon participated, that in which he first exercised independent command is rich in example. In the Italian Campaign of 1796 we discover in amazing sequence those basic combinations upon which rests the structure of the art of war. What is more, the contrasting talents of the opposing commanders enable us to discover the part which spiritual as well as physical factors play in the process of war. Aside from the brilliant successes which gave him fame, Napoleon must always appeal to students of warfare because of the distinct quality of simplicity which marked all his operations. He had the talent for making himself strategically and tactically articulate. To the young soldier who seeks to discover the secret of an art whose mysteries have been revealed to but few, there is some compensation in being able to identify objectively those elements which determine the outcome of military events. If this presentation has aided in the process, its purpose will have been fulfilled.”-Author’s Preface.

The general plan of the French Directory in 1796 was for Moreau and Jourdan with 180,000 men in Germany to drive back the Archduke Charles from the Rhine, and march on Vienna; Kellermann, stationed on the Western Alps, was to hold the Duke of Aosta who, with headquarters at Turin, commanded an army at the foot of those mountains; and the Army of Italy, which held the Apennines and the country between them and the sea, was to conquer Lombardy. In February 1796 General Scherer, in resigning command of the Army of Italy, wrote to the Directory: Napoleon "I conjure you, I beg you to send a general Bonaparte who has more resources and ability than I have, appointed to for I declare that I am incapable of charging Command mySeIf, in these circumstances, with the burthen of command."

The Campaigns of Napoleon Bonaparte of 1796-1797 Against Austria and Sardinia in Italy by Gustav Joseph Fiebeger Pdf
An expert examination of the first campaigns of a military genius Gustav Fiebeger has approached his analysis of General Bonaparte's campaign of 1796-7 in Italy against Austrian and Sardinian forces on several levels. His book concentrates on delivering as much information as possible in the fewest words, so this a work of little literary style. Nevertheless, few relevant issues escape the author's attention here as he critically examines the opposing commanders, the political background to events, the strategic and tactical movement of troops, configurations of the armies, Napoleons own comments and the military situations and outcomes of conflict. The causes of Napoleon's success are examined in the conclusion of this work which will be an invaluable companion piece to any study of the early wars of the Napoleonic age and victories of the French Revolutionary armies. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

Excerpt from The Campaigns Napoleon Bonaparte of 1796-1797 He was assigned as Chief of Artillery of the Army of Italy, and the coast batteries from the Rhone to the Var. He remained with the Army of Italy until April, 1795, and planned operations by which that army advanced by successive steps from Nice to Savona. He went on leave in April, and during a reorganization of the army was placed on waiting orders.

On February 23rd he was assigned to the command of the Army of Italy because of his service to the government.

In the center of Mantua, in northern Italy, a covered bridge stretches over the narrow Rio where vendors sell fish from pushcarts just as locals did more than two hundred years ago when Napoleon Bonaparte laid siege to the city. Four cannon balls protruding out of an adjacent wall offer a tacit monument to the sufferings of townspeople during the 1796–1797 siege, when the city, held by Austrian troops, finally fell under French control. Two years later, Mantua was again barraged, this time by a combined Austrian and Russian army, which took it back after four months. In Napoleon in Italy, Phillip R. Cuccia brings to light two understudied aspects of these trying periods in Mantua’s history: siege warfare and the conditions it created inside the city. Drawing on underutilized military records in Austrian, French, and Italian archives, Cuccia delves into these important conflicts to integrate 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 the sieges firsthand. Cuccia also shows how the sieges had consequences long after they were over. The surrender and proposed court-martial of François-Philippe de Foissac-Latour, the French general in charge of Mantua in 1799, sheds new light on Napoleon’s disdain for defeat. Foissac-Latour faced Napoleon’s ire, expulsion from the army, and harsh public criticism. Napoleon in Italy is not only the story of Mantua’s strategic importance. Mantua also symbolized Napoleon’s voracious determination to win and Austria’s desperation to retain its possessions. By placing the sieges of Mantua in an eighteenth-century international context, Cuccia introduces readers to a broader understanding of siege warfare and of how the global impacts the local.
