The virtuosity of a general with no real experience of war — that is above all what one remembers of the Italian Campaign. Indeed, Bonaparte's genius was to astonish the world and, two centuries later, still arouses the same fascination. Who could fail to marvel at this young general who, through the application of new military principles he had pondered at length, comprehensively defeated seasoned commanders? The new way of waging war that he imposed on his disoriented adversaries would not only bring him the laurels of victory, but also the confidence of his soldiers who, captivated as much by his human qualities as his technical mastery, followed him through everything to the very end of the adventure. Through this campaign presented in chronicle form, follow Bonaparte day by day. Discover the daily life of this general: his doubts, his difficulties, his choices, but also his hopes and his joys.

The Soviet victory at Stalingrad, despite the losses, marks the beginning of the Red Army's transformation. Driven by ambitious generals (and an omnipotent Stalin), it gradually changed beyond recognition, bearing almost no resemblance to the army of the summer of 1941. Despite German resistance, the Soviets pressed on towards the very heart of the III....

OUT OF PRINT Emerging from the First World War, the Red Army bore no resemblance to a genuine professional military force and stood as an exception among Western armies. Yet its victory in the Russian Civil War allowed it to be elevated as the USSR's bulwark against external aggression… as well as a standard-bearer of world communism. In the 1930s, the...
