The Second War of Coalition-Volume 2
George Armand Furse
The victorious march to two momentous battles of the Napoleonic Age
George Furse was a colonel of the Black Watch regiment and an accomplished military historian and author. His writing was never less than serious, well researched and comprehensive. For 'The Second War of Coalition' (originally published under the inadequate title 'Marengo and Hohenlinden') Furse has referenced source material originally published in the French language including first-hand recollections and official documents. This Leonaur edition is being published in two unique volumes to enable us to include, for the first time, numerous illustrations of the events described.
Volume two focusses on the invasion of Italy as French forces advanced from Ivrea to Milan and the Passage of the Po to the Battle of Montebello. Then followed the Battle of Marengo in June, 1800, fought near Alessandria in northern Italy, which is described in detail and depth. This volume concludes with the French victory at Hohenlinden in southern Germany, fought in December, 1800, in which the French army, under Moreau, decisively defeated the Austrians and Bavarians and brought about a victorious end to the war for the French.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
