Summary

Presenting a significant new interpretation of Napoleonic warfare, Robert M. Epstein argues persuasively that the true origins of modern war can be found in the Franco-Austrian War of 1809. Epstein contends that the 1809 war had more in common with the American Civil War and subsequent conflicts than with the decisive Napoleonic campaigns that preceded it.
