Description - Napoleon's Last Victory and the Emergence of Modern War by Robert M. Epstein
Robert Epstein contends that Napoleon's 1809 campaign represented a paradigm shift in warfare, ushering in the era of modern war: massive armies; multiple theatres of operation; new command-and-control systems; increased firepower; frequent stalemates; and massive slaughter. He offers an account of Napoleon's last successful major campaign, advancing his theory that it represented a turning point in the evolution of warfare. The book has been recommended as a selection of the History Book Club.
