Author: Colonel Vachée Published: 2007 Pages: 188 First translated into English in 1914, Napoleon at Work is a detailed, step-by-step analysis of the military tactics and methods adopted by Napoleon Bonaparte in the time leading up to, and during, the Jena Campaign of 1806. Written by the distinguished French tactician and strategist Colonel Vachée, it examines and illustrates the military genius of Napoleon as it was at the very height of his career, as well as the lessons in warfare which could be learnt from him for the "battles of the future". This facinating study explores the many elements that contributed to his success, from the organisation and movements of his staff to Napoleon´s own strategic decision-making, and, most importantly, the recognition of the necessity of a formidable leadership to achieve victory in war.
