Condizione: New. vi+105 pp with 8 Maps 2020 N&MP Reprint of 1912 Edition.Published Price £14.50 Part of the acclaimed "Special Campaign" series of works intended for serious professional students of military history, each volume is interspersed with strategical and tactical comments and illustrated by numerous sketches.The United Kingdom, the Austrian Empire, Sweden and the Russian Empire formed the Third Coalition to overthrow the French Empire. When Bavaria sided with Napoleon, the Austrians, 72,000 strong under Mack, prematurely invaded while the Russians were still marching through Poland. Napoleon had 177,000 troops of the Grande Armà e at Boulogne, ready to invade England. They marched south on 27 August and by 24 September were ready to cross the Rhine from Mannheim to Strasbourg. After crossing the Rhine, the greater part of the French army made a gigantic right wheel so that its corps reached the Danube simultaneously, facing south. On 7 October, Mack learned that Napoleon planned to cross the Danube and march around his right flank so as to cut him off from the Russians, who were marching via Vienna. He accordingly changed front, placing his left at Ulm and his right at Rain, but the French went on and crossed the Danube at Neuburg, Donauwà rth and Ingolstadt. Unable to stop the French avalanche, Michael von Kienmayer's Austrian corps abandoned its positions along the river and fled to Munich.On 8 October 1805, Franz Auffenberg's division was cut to pieces by Joachim Murat's Cavalry Corps and Jean Lannes' V Corps at the Battle of Wertingen. The following day, Mack attempted to cross the Danube and move north. He was defeated in the Battle of Günzburg by Jean-Pierre Firmin Malher's division of Michel Ney's VI Corps which was still operating on the north bank. During the action, the French seized a bridgehead on the south bank. After first withdrawing to Ulm, Mack tried to break out to the north. His army was blocked by Pierre Dupont de l'Etang's VI Corps division and some cavalry in the Battle of Haslach-Jungingen on 11 October.By the 11th, Napoleon's corps were spread out in a wide net to snare Mack's army. Nicolas Soult's IV Corps reached Landsberg am Lech and turned east to cut off Mack from Tyrol. Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte's I Corps and Louis Nicolas Davout's III Corps converged on Munich. Auguste Marmont's II Corps was at Augsburg. Murat, Ney, Lannes and the Imperial Guard began closing in on Ulm. Mack ordered the corps of Franz von Werneck to march north-east, while Johann Sigismund Riesch covered its right flank at Elchingen. The Austrian commander sent Franz Jellacic's corps south towards Tyrol and held the remainder of his army at Ulm.On 14 October, Ney crushed Riesch's small corps at the Battle of Elchingen and chased its survivors back into Ulm. Murat detected Werneck's force and raced in pursuit with his cavalry. Over the next few days, Werneck's corps was overwhelmed in a series of actions at Langenau, Herbrechtingen, Nà rdlingen and Neresheim. On 18 October he surrendered the remainder of his troops. Only Archduke Ferdinand Karl Joseph of Austria-Este and a few other generals escaped to Bohemia with about 1,200 cavalry. Meanwhile, Soult secured the surrender of 4,600 Austrians at Memmingen and swung north to box in Mack from the south. Jellacic slipped past Soult and escaped to the south only to be hunted down and captured in the Capitulation of Dornbirn in mid-November by Pierre Augereau's late-arriving VII Corps. By 16 October, Napoleon had surrounded Mack's entire army at Ulm, and three days later Mack surrendered with 25,000 men, 18 generals, 65 guns and 40 standards.Print size 21x29.7 cm to accommodate the oversized maps.

Condizione: New. xiv+231pp with 6 Maps 2013 N&MP Reprint of 1907 Edition.Published Price £14.50 Part of the acclaimed "Special Campaign" series of works intended for serious professional students of military history each volume is interspersed with strategical and tactical comments and illustrated by numerous sketches.The military lessons of the Russian campaign are numerous. In its general features, in the grandeur of its conception, and in some respects in its execution, as well as in its abysmal end, this gigantic invasion was splendid and awe-inspiring. Who can contemplate unmoved the sublime spectacle of that mighty human stream pouring across Europe into Russia, fighting its way to Moscow, and its shattered remnants struggling back across the Berezina, in worst icy flood so many thousand lives were quenched in circumstances of tragic horror. The dramatic figure of the Great Emperor, standing in the snow during the retreat, domination the situation by the mere terror of his personality, will stand out for ever on the page of history. The fortitude in the retreat of Ney, what warrior of transcendent courage, who, asked were the rearguard, replied in all truth "I am the rearguard"; and in response to a summons to surrender "A Marshal of France never surrenders!" furnishes one of the finest episodes of this dramatic epoch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - First published in 1926, this scarce and important battalion history provides a detailed record of the 10th (Service) Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers, from its formation during the opening months of the First World War to its disbandment in 1918. Edited by Lieut.-Colonel F. N. Burton, assisted by Lieut. A. P. Comyns, MC, the volume preserves a concise day-by-day account of the battalion's service and operations on the Western Front.Raised at Wrexham in September 1914 as part of Kitchener's Third New Army, the 10th Battalion initially joined the 76th Brigade, 25th Division, before transferring with the brigade to the 3rd Division in October 1915. Thereafter it experienced the demanding realities of trench warfare, serving in some of the most fiercely contested sectors of the Western Front.The diary records the battalion's operations in the Ypres Salient, on the Somme, including the fighting around Delville Wood and Serre, and subsequently in the Arras sector. Alongside its operational narrative are details of training, movements, casualties among officers and other ranks, and awards for gallantry, providing valuable evidence of the battalion's organisation and fighting experience.The record concludes in February 1918, when the battalion was disbanded during the British Army's reorganisation prompted by mounting manpower demands. At approximately 100 pages, this compact contemporary history is an invaluable primary source for students of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, Kitchener's Army and British infantry operations on the Western Front.…
