Austerlitz: The Empire at Its Zenith

The Battle of Austerlitz in 1805 was Napoleon's most decisive victory. It was fought in Moravia against the combined forces of two other Empires - Austria and Russia - and it forced Austria to make the Treaty of Pressburg which undermined Napoleon's enemies to continue the Grand Alliance against him. This book follows the battle hour by hour, illustrating progress though panoramic description and detailed maps. The individual players in the drama are featured and all the uniforms of the troops are illustrated in full colour.
