Описание: Although little known in this country, Maximilian von Browne is counted among the finest soldiers of the old Imperial Austrian Army. As the present biography sets out to show, he was outstanding in his time for his vigorous conduct of war, and his extremely advanced idea of leadership and responsibility. Few commanders have taken so literally the phrase ‘to share the hardships of his men’.A son of that generation of Irishmen who fled from a penal regime to take service in Catholic Europe, Browne rose in the Army of the Empress Maria Theresa. In 1746, he could take the greater part of the credit for driving the French and Spanish forces from Italy, and in the next year he carried the war onto French soil by a celebrated invasion of Provence. Following an interval of peacetime, though far from uneventful, administration in the Imperial provinces, Browne checked and outwitted Frederick of Prussia in the first campaign of the Seven Years War. Already in the grip of a mortal illness, Browne was taken unawares when the Prussians resumed the attack in 1757, and of May 6 of that year he received a last wound, among his grenadiers on the field of Prague.The Wild Goose and the Eagle is founded on a thorough investigation of the Viennese archives and of the terrain of the Marshal’s battles. It explores not just the life of a single commander, but the warfare of an age which holds many lessons for the present century.
Автор: MacDonald Jacques Название: Recollections of Marshal Macdonald, Duke of Tarentum: The Napoleonic Wars as Experienced by a Renowned French Military Commander ISBN: 0857065718 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780857065711 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 45590.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The recollections of one of Napoleons most dependable commanders Among all Napoleon's marshals Macdonald is one of the most intriguing, for he bears a name more likely to found among those highland regiments of Wellington's infantry who were among his master's most formidable enemies. Jacques Macdonald was born in Sedan in the Ardennes region of France, the son of a Jacobite Scottish exile, and was a close relative of Flora MacDonald who played such a memorable role in the flight of Prince Charles Stewart to the continent after the failure of the rebellion of 1745. Born in 1765, Jacques Macdonald was of an age to ensure he would take part in the momentous events that swept through France in the late 18th century bringing revolution, regicide, the Republic, Consulate and Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte. Perhaps predictably Macdonald experienced campaigns and battles throughout the Napoleonic age in most of the European theatres of the conflict and he graphically describes those events and his part in them in this book. He was a faithful and dependable commander who lacked true military genius but whose qualities made him trustworthy, and it was for these qualities that Napoleon was consistently entrusted him with independent commands. Whilst Macdonald's career cannot fail to be of interest to all students of the Napoleonic Wars what makes this book special is its readability and Macdonald's ability to describe vividly the events he witnessed in an entertaining and informative manner. The value of his book as an historical document is further enhanced by the insights he provides into his own character-that of an obviously decent, honourable and likeable individual. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

"Teague tells a revealing story that will concentrate the minds of students and practitioners of the military art on the pitfalls of high command in war." --Douglas Macgregor, Colonel (ret) U.S. Army. Author of Margin of Victory: Five Battles that Changed the Face of Modern War
British Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomerywas without a doubt a great hero of WWII. He is often cited as the most professional Allied commander. This book explores his successes and exposes the dark side of Montgomery; his unprofessional criticisms of peers and disloyalty to superiors, selfishly taking the credit due others, using deceit to cover up failure on the battlefield, and disregarding intelligence when it ran counter to his operational planning. His victory at the Second Battle of Alamein brought him instant celebrity and established a reputation Montgomery would do anything to maintain. Here then is the enigma of Field Marshall Montgomery, a man who made history because of--and in spite of--himself.
