BATTLE OF ZNAIM Napoleon, The Habsburgs and the end of the 1809 War

A fresh work Gill’s book is an unrivalled analysis of the somewhat neglected Battle of Znaim. Accessible, and highly detailed, it sheds new light on this stalemate moment in Napoleonic history. Znaim was to prove the last action of the War of the Fifth Coalition. This will surely be, for a generation, the definitive book in English on the post-Wagram phase of the 1809 Danube campaign, a series of events that have all too often been regarded as a footnote.
