Napoleon’s Triumph: La Grande Armée versus the Tsar’s Army
By James R. Arnold & Ralph R. Reinertsen

In February 1807, Napoleon suffered a grim setback at the Battle of Eylau. Within four months, he rebounded to win a decisive triumph at the Battle of Friedland. Using primary sources gleaned from libraries and archives in Europe and the United States, Napoleon's Triumph describes Napoleon's amazing reversal of fortune. Lavishly illustrated with portraits, drawings, paintings, and maps, and supplemented with detailed appendices on the strengths and composition of the rival forces, Napoleon's Triumph provides an original interpretation of the 1807 campaign. 440 pages with detailed orders of battle, images, and 39 maps. $52.00 plus postage.

Crisis in the Snows: Russia Confronts Napoleon: The Eylau Campaign 1806-1807 spacer

Crisis in the Snows: Russia Confronts Napoleon: The Eylau Campaign 1806-1807
by James R. Arnold & Ralph R. Reinertsen

Using primary sources gleaned from libraries and archives in Europe and the United States, Crisis in the Snows removes the shroud of Napoleon’s propaganda to portray the demoralizing reality of the winter campaign in Poland. Napoleon’s Grande Armée is revealed not as a smoothly oiled machine but rather a war-weary force whose soldiers doubted that France’s security required a march into Poland. Yet, when summoned to battle by a man who possessed a unique capacity to inspire French self-sacrifice, Napoleon's soldiers repeatedly displayed prodigies of valor. $60.00 plus postage.
