napoleon s army at austerlitz paul l dawson

A snow-capped hill in modern day Czech Republic, dominated by a small church with black onion dome, stands on a field of battle that cemented Napoleon’s position as Emperor of the French. His throne was secure. His power was limitless. Europe lay at his feet. The Battle of Austerlitz is almost universally regarded as the most impressive of Napoleon's many victories. The magnitude of the French achievement against a larger Russian and Austrian force was unprecedented, the great victory being met by sheer amazement and delirium in Paris, where, just days earlier, the nation had been teetering on the brink of financial collapse. It was a time when Napoleon's Grande Armée was at the apogee of its power. Trained on the Channel coast for over two years, the Grande Armée was considered to be the most powerful, and in many respects the most glamourous, fighting force in Europe. Using archive documents from the time, this book sets out to chart the story of the men who made up the army. Incorporating rare eye-witness reports, that have to date never been used in English or French histories, we assess if the army was indeed the best in the world. Men like Grouchy, Oudinot, Ney, D’hautpoul and many other famous names put the army through its paces – it is their judgements that confirm or deny the effectiveness of the army. These men also minutely examined the men’s clothing and equipment. Using these reports we present for the first time the true story of the Grande Armée. This has been possible due to the author’s access to a vast resource, as yet untapped by the vast majority of researchers and historians for understanding Napoleonic era in general. These are the regimental archive boxes preserved in the French Army Archives. From the regimental inspections, as well as the observations of Divisional commanders written at the time, these sources provide, potentially bias free empirical data – it is based on personal assessments thus is not error free – from which we can reconstruct the life story of a regiment, its officers and above all its clothing. More uniquely, the text is supported by an unrivalled collection of full colour illustrations, many of which have never been published before, including images of original items of equipment that are held in both museums and private collections to which the author has been granted special access. In this beautifully illustrated book, Paul Dawson critically re-examines the mythos and presents the judgement call made at the time about the army, that has ever since been overtly romanticised by both lovers and haters of Napoleon.

Paul Liska si v knihe Napoleon a bitka pri Marengu dal za cieľ ,, porozprávať o fascinujćich udalostiach, ktoré sa odohrali pri Marengu v roku 1800, keď Napoleon svojim dôvtipom a schopnosťou analyzovať situáciu na bojovom poli zvíťazil nad veľkolepými protivníkmi.“ Autor ďalej uvádza: ,,Ako sme sa presvedčili, francúzske výboje pozostávali nielen z vojen, ale aj z mierových premien štátov a spoločnosti v Európe. Boli začiatkom buržoáznej revolúcie, vzdialenej od starej stavovskej spoločnosti a starých kráľovských mocností. Ide o trvalé úspechy francúzskej revolúcie a napoleonskej éry. Dlhodobo pôsobili na mier a vojny, štát a spoločnosť, zákony a cirkev a podpísali sa na celosvetovom vývoji. Stačí spomenúť demokraciu, parlamentarizmus, ľudskú slobodu a ľudské práva, trhovú ekonomiku a právny štát. Išlo o revolúciu za nezávislosť, ktorá odštartovala v celom svete aj za cenu mnohých vojen, útrap a krvi. Táto revolúcia za nezávislosť funguje po celom svete. Ideál o slobode, rovnosti a bratstve odvtedy neutíchol.

Having their origins in the Army of Louis XIV, the dragoons were originally mounted infantry. During the wars of the 1e Empire, they became ‘jacks of all trade’ equally capable as fighting as battle cavalry, scouting or operating as infantry. Yet, precious few studies have been made of the dress of these thirty regiments or of the ten regiments of lancers which evolved from the dragoons in 1811. The dress and equipment of each regiment of dragoons and lancers in Napoleon’s army is analysed and portrayed here with greater accuracy than previously possible. This is because renowned Napoleonic author, Paul Dawson has been granted access to over 1,000 archive boxes, found in the Service Historique de l’Armée de Terre in Paris and the Archives Nationales. These have enabled the author to assesses how the wide ranging 1806 uniform regulations and the more famous Bardin regulations were adopted in practice. This vast resource, as yet untapped by the majority of researchers and historians for understanding the Napoleonic era in general, provides detail never before revealed to the general public. This is possible because every year a regiment would be inspected, and the condition of the uniforms assessed. A return of all the clothing to be disposed of was made, and the appropriate number of new items ordered. Items of clothing and equipment needing repair was also recorded, as was how many items had been repaired since the last inspection. Upon joining a regiment, the recruit was given his first full set of clothing and equipment, which came from stoppages in his pay. Each item of clothing had a specified life. If the items needed repair or replacement inside the prescribed period due to misuse the cost was borne by the soldier. All of this was recorded. There was an annual quota of money available to a colonel to pay for clothing renewals and repairs for his regiment. In addition, the regimental Council of Administration drew funds to buy raw materials, equipment and headdresses. These funds also covered sundry items such as the epaulettes of the adjutant-sous-officiers, lace for rank stripes, service chevrons, musicians and drummers lace, plumes and pompoms, such is the remarkable level of detail these records contain. These invaluable sources provide bias free empirical data from which we can reconstruct the life story of a regiment, its officers and above all its clothing. In addition to the official records, the author has constructed how the regiments were dressed from diaries, letters, and even cases of fraud. As well as providing the recorded details, this book shows in scores of beautiful illustrations exactly how each regiment appeared. These images include period paintings as well as works specifically commissioned for this book, plus unique photographs of existing items of uniform. Now, for the first time since the days of Napoleon, we can say exactly what was worn by Napoleon’s cavalry.

This groundbreaking book offers a detailed exploration of the dress of the thirty-seven regiments of Light Infantry and other support troops in Napoleon's Grande Armée, including foot and horse artillery, sapeurs, musicians, and carabiniers. For the first time in two centuries, it accurately examines how these troops were clothed and equipped. Paul Dawson’s research draws from over 1,000 archive boxes in the Service Historique de l’Armée de Terre and the Archives Nationales in Paris. These documents reveal how the 1806 uniform regulations and Bardin regulations were implemented in practice, offering insights previously unavailable to the public. The archives focus on the annual inspections of regiments, where the condition of uniforms and equipment was assessed. Soldiers' uniforms were provided through stoppages in their pay, with a prescribed lifespan for each item. The regimental Council of Administration also drew funds for clothing renewals, repairs, and equipment. Dawson’s study demonstrates that the Bardin regulations, often seen as the standard, were largely a myth until the Waterloo Campaign. Through contemporary illustrations and photographs of existing uniforms, this book provides an authoritative understanding of the actual dress worn by Napoleon’s troops, making previous descriptions of the Grande Armée’s appearance obsolete.

This absorbing study describes and illustrates the Indian Army forces that fought in five wars during the second half of the 20th century.The Indian Army is the world’s largest volunteer army, with an enviable history and tradition of valour and gallantry. It was involved in warfare soon after India’s independence and has fought five wars between 1947 and 1999, notably against Pakistan (1947–48, 1965, 1971 and 1999) but also against China (1962). Besides these, the Indian Army has been involved in smaller internal conflicts and counter-insurgency operations, some of which continue. The Indian Army has also carried out two military interventions overseas, namely in the Maldives (1988) and in Sri Lanka (1987–90).The troops who fought in these operations, culminating in 1999’s Kargil War against Pakistan, are described and illustrated in this book, written by an Indian Army veteran. The Indian Army’s evolving uniforms, insignia and personal equipment are depicted in photographs, some previously unpublished, and eight plates of original colour artwork. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of the Indian Army’s contribution to global military history since Independence in 1947.

Frederick the Great was an acknowledged master of war. Admired and studied by Napoleon, he commanded the Prussian army at sixteen major battles and numerous sieges and other actions, often leading from the front. Under Frederick the Prussian Army became arguably the most feared and efficient in Europe, often defeating numerically superior forces. Gabriele Esposito details the organization, uniforms and equipment of the various branches of service that made up the Prussian Army. Starting with the infantry, whose incredible discipline and excellent training made them the backbone of Frederick''s forces he details the famous Guards and the line regiments but also the light infantry jagers and even little-known garrison and auxiliary units. Equal attention is given to the cavalry: Guards, cuirassiers, dragoons, lancers and hussars. There is also a chapter devoted to the ''technical corps'' of artillery, pioneers and the like, and there are chapters on the mercenary ''freikorps'' and Frederick''s German allies. The whole is lavishly illustrated with beautiful colour plates.

Using the diaries of Luftwaffe commanders, rare contemporary photographs and other previously unpublished sources, Robert Forsyth analyzes the human, strategic, tactical and technical elements of one of the most dramatic operations arranged by the Luftwaffe.Stalingrad ranks as one of the most infamous, savage and emotive battles of the 20th century. It has consumed military historians since the 1950s and has inspired many books and much debate. This book tells the story of the operation mounted by the Luftwaffe to supply, by airlift, the trapped and exhausted German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in the winter of 1942/43.The weather conditions faced by the flying crews, mechanics, and soldiers on the ground were appalling, but against all odds, and a resurgent and active Soviet air force, the transports maintained a determined presence over the ravaged city on the Volga, even when the last airfields in the Stalingrad pocket had been lost.Yet, even the daily figure of 300 tons of supplies, needed by Sixth Army just to subsist, proved over-ambitious for the Luftwaffe which battled against a lack of transport capacity, worsening serviceability, and increasing losses in badly needed aircraft.Using previously unpublished diaries, original Luftwaffe reports and specially commissioned artwork, this gripping battle is told in detail through the eyes of the Luftwaffe commanders and pilots who fought to keep the Sixth Army alive and supplied.

Každoročně se na přelomu listopadu a prosince u příležitosti výročí bitvy u Slavkova sjíždí na jižní Moravu tisícovka „napoleonských vojáků“ z celé Evropy, aby ji během zimního víkendu „rekonstruovali“ v největší pravidelně konané vzpomínkové akci, kterou Projekt Austerlitz pořádá od roku 1998. V roce 2017 francouzský armádní generál Gobilliard, prezident Asociace držitelů Čestné legie, prohlásil: „Poprvé v životě jsem viděl takto provedenou ukázku a manévry, o kterých jsem se učil na vojenské akademii Saint Cyr!“

Jen málokterý jednotlivec dokázal ovlivnit dějiny zásadněji než Napoleon Bonaparte. I když byl u moci jen po desetiletí a půl, jeho vliv nepřestal být patrný dodnes a mnoho lidí stále obdivuje jeho nezdolnou vůli. Jednou z hlavních tezí Johnsonovy knihy je, že Bonaparte nebyl ideolog, nýbrž oportunista, kterému se podařilo využít dějinné náhody Francouzské revoluce k tomu, aby se vyšvihl na vrchol moci. Poté rozpoutal v Evropě nejničivější války, jaké starý světadíl do té doby zažil. Vůbec poprvé hrály v obrovském růstu armád podstatnou roli masové odvody a v bitvách se střetávaly celé národy. Zrodil ze nový koncept totální války a vyrostly instituce jako tajná policie, rozsáhlá profesionální špionáž, vládní propagandistická mašinérie nebo předstírání údajně demokratických postupů, voleb a plebiscitů. Johnson čtenáře poutavým způsobem seznamuje i s mnoha fakty Napoleonova soukromého života, ať už jde o jeho rodinu, dvě manželky, milenky či vyhnanství a smrt na Svaté Heleně.

In this “engrossing,” (The New Yorker) vivid, and intensively researched volume, esteemed Napoleon scholar David Chandler outlines the military strategy that led the famous French emperor to his greatest victories—and to his ultimate downfall.Napoleonic war was nothing if not complex—an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of moves and intentions, which by themselves went a long way towards baffling and dazing his conventionally minded opponents into that state of disconcerting moral disequilibrium which so often resulted in their catastrophic defeat. The Campaigns of Napoleon is a masterful analysis and insightful critique of Napoleon''s art of war as he himself developed and perfected it in the major military campaigns of his career. Napoleon disavowed any suggestion that he worked from formula (“Je n''ai jamais eu un plan d''opérations”), but military historian David Chandler demonstrates this was at best only a half-truth. To be sure, every operation Napoleon conducted contained unique improvisatory features. But there were from the first to the last certain basic principles of strategic maneuver and battlefield planning that he almost invariably put into practice. To clarify these underlying methods, as well as the style of Napoleon''s fabulous intellect, Chandler examines in detail each campaign mounted and personally conducted by Napoleon, analyzing the strategies employed, revealing wherever possible the probable sources of his subject''s military ideas. “Writing clearly and vividly, [Chandler] turns dozens of persons besides Napoleon from mere wooden soldiers into three- dimensional characters” (The Boston Globe) and this definitive work is “a fine book for the historian, the student, and the intelligent reader” (The New York Review of Books).

''A Napoleonic triumph of a book, irresistibly galloping with the momentum of a cavalry charge'' Simon Sebag Montefiore''Simply dynamite'' Bernard CornwellFrom Andrew Roberts, author of the bestsellers The Storm of War and Churchill: Walking with Destiny, this is the definitive modern biography of Napoleon.Napoleon Bonaparte lived one of the most extraordinary of all human lives. In the space of just twenty years, from October 1795 when as a young artillery captain he cleared the streets of Paris of insurrectionists, to his final defeat at the (horribly mismanaged) battle of Waterloo in June 1815, Napoleon transformed France and Europe. After seizing power in a coup d''état he ended the corruption and incompetence into which the Revolution had descended. In a series of dazzling battles he reinvented the art of warfare; in peace, he completely remade the laws of France, modernised her systems of education and administration, and presided over a flourishing of the beautiful ''Empire style'' in the arts. The impossibility of defeating his most persistent enemy, Great Britain, led him to make draining and ultimately fatal expeditions into Spain and Russia, where half a million Frenchmen died and his Empire began to unravel.More than any other modern biographer, Andrew Roberts conveys Napoleon''s tremendous energy, both physical and intellectual, and the attractiveness of his personality, even to his enemies. He has walked 53 of Napoleon''s 60 battlefields, and has absorbed the gigantic new French edition of Napoleon''s letters, which allows a complete re-evaluation of this exceptional man. He overturns many received opinions, including the myth of a great romance with Josephine: she took a lover immediately after their marriage, and, as Roberts shows, he had three times as many mistresses as he acknowledged.Of the climactic Battle of Leipzig in 1813, as the fighting closed around them, a French sergeant-major wrote, ''No-one who has not experienced it can have any idea of the enthusiasm that burst forth among the half-starved, exhausted soldiers when the Emperor was there in person. If all were demoralised and he appeared, his presence was like an electric shock. All shouted "Vive l''Empereur!" and everyone charged blindly into the fire.''The reader of this biography will understand why this was so.

How recent shifts in social politics have dramatically changed our relationship to monuments. For centuries, monuments have telegraphed the values and origin myths of dominant culture in public space and on massive scale. They have signaled both who is part of a culture and who is not, often overlooking histories that complicate the stories they tell. Yet in the last 50 years in the United States, the role of monuments has changed significantly. Numerous historical monuments have been removed or toppled, bringing to the fore a long-repressed conversation about the relationship between the monumental landscape and national identity. In Monumental, Cat Dawson takes up the social, political, and art historical causes and ramifications of this important shift. Examining the conditions that have led to and define this new era, Dawson reveals that these interventions are as indebted to the monumental tradition as they are to representational strategies that grew out of twentieth-century social justice efforts, from the Civil Rights movement to queer organizing during the AIDS crisis. Since 2014, a new generation of artists has established a groundbreaking role for monuments, calling into question the very notion of what a monument is through novel investigations of how symbolic structures can be made and what stories they can tell. This book tells the important story of that sea change.

In 1964, Napoleon Hill presented a series of lectures that have never been published—until now.“The subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between a penny and a million dollars. It does not know the difference between success and failure, and it’ll work just as hard to make a failure out of you as it will to make a success out of you if you don’t condition your mind to keep the subconscious mind working with and for the things you want and away from the things you don’t want. “The majority of people spend their lives worrying and fearing and fretting over the things they don’t want, and that’s exactly what they’re getting out of life. I try to make allowances for the weaknesses and for the mistakes of other people that affect my interest. I don’t always do a good job of it but I try. I try to keep my mental attitude positive at all times toward all people about all subjects. I want to tell you that this effort on my part has gone a long way toward placing me in a position where I can say, as I said to you this morning, that I have acquired in this life everything that I need, everything that I want, everything that I desire. I have no fears, no frustrations, no disappointments. I have good, sound health. I have a happy home.” —An excerpt from one of Napoleon Hill’s last public lectures—available for the first time from the Napoleon Hill Foundation

Elektronická kniha - ze série Polozapomenuté války, autor Jiří Kovařík, 344 stran, česky Napoleon na Dunaji je plastickým vylíčením bitev u Aspern/Esslingu a Wagramu, svedených proti Rakousku koncem jara a v létě roku 1809 Napoleonem I. a arcivévodou Karlem Rakouským. U Aspern/Esslingu padl mýtus o Napoleonově neporazitelnosti a ani Wagram neskončil přesvědčivým francouzským vítězstvím. Polozapomenuté události války na Dunaji pak představovaly poslední vítězné tažení císaře Francouzů. Formou literatury faktu a stylem, jenž získal jejímu autorovi u čtenářů oblibu, s pomocí řady map, dobových vyobrazení i ordre de bataille, bitevního uspořádání obou vojsk, nechává kniha promlouvat především pamětníky, maršály, generály, důstojníky a vojáky rakouské i francouzské strany, kteří ono krvavé zápolení na bitevních pláních u levého dunajského břehu zažili.

Kniha Myšlením k bohatství představuje návod či zdroj informací, jak dosáhnout osobního úspěchu; obohatí vám život ve všech směrech, na kterých záleží – a to není jen oblast finanční a materiální. Myšlenky, na nichž se kniha zakládá, jsou pramenem, ze kterého vzešla všechna hnutí za dosažení osobního úspěchu a pozitivního myšlení. Znovuobjevené nebo převyprávěné myšlenky a zásady Napoleona Hilla tvoří základ veškerých textů a směrů s tématem osobního úspěchu, jež vznikly od doby, kdy byla poprvé vydána kniha Myšlením k bohatství. Největší hodnota této úžasné knihy spočívá v tom, že vám pomůže dosáhnout úspěchu, ať už jej definujete jakkoli – pomůže vám získat cokoli, po čem v životě toužíte. Napoleon Hill vydal knihu Myšlením k bohatství v roce 1937 v době velké hospodářské krize. V roce 1960 publikoval revidovanou verzi, z níž vypustil celou řadu částí, které se objevily v originále. Do verze, jíž právě listujete, se tedy konečně vrátil materiál, jenž byl před více než šedesáti lety vyškrtnut. Kromě toho je toto vydání první a dosud jedinou verzí knihy Myšlením k bohatství, která je opatřena poznámkami, vysvětlivkami a přílohami. Z nich získáte zajímavé informace o době, v níž Napoleon Hill pracoval a žil, lidech, o kterých psal, i přímo o autorovi.

Napoleon Bonaparte. Vstupuje do světových dějin současně s vypuknutím francouzské revoluce, které slouží, kterou ovládne a kterou ukončí, aby se korunoval císařem a vedl dobyvačné války… nebo ne? V každém případě patří mezi velké postavy dějin a zaslouží si, abychom mu věnovali pozornost. Ostatně, má-li dodnes své "nepřátele", je i v jejich zájmu jej studovat, poznávat a svým způsobem i oceňovat jeho kvality, protože lesk vítězství se na prvním místě měří velikostí poraženého protivníka. Předkládaná kniha je souborem vybraných textů publikovaných na webech Security Magazínu a Projektu Austerlitz v posledních letech. Jejich společným jmenovatelem jsou životní osudy Napoleona a jeho současníků především z hlediska dobového vojenství, protože přese vše byl Napoleon na prvním místě vojákem a vojevůdcem.

Audiokniha: Alexandre Dumas starší byl vypravěčským mistrem. Jeho romány jsou nadčasové, stále čtenářsky atraktivní. Je méně známé, že nepsal pouze fikce, ale vytvořil také několik životopisů skutečných historických osobností. Jeho zřejmě nejznámější biografií je životopis Napoleona Bonaparta. Slavný spisovatel se s ním jako malý chlapec dvakrát osobně setkal. Jeho otec s ním jako republikánský generál bojoval při italském tažení a v Egyptě. Dumasův „Napoleon“ je barvitým a napínavým čtením. Popisuje císařovo dětství, vojenské počátky, armádní tažení i nejslavnější války. Vrcholem biografie je popis tří známých bitev: u Slavkova, Borodina a u Waterloo. „Napoleon“ není suchopárným vypravováním se záplavou zbytečných letopočtů. Jde o strhující knihu zasvěceného vypravěče, který Bonaparta kritizuje i obdivuje. Dumasovo mistrovství stvořilo portrét muže, na jehož osud už svět neměl nikdy zapomenout.

Napoleon povstal z chaosu a hrůz Francouzské revoluce, aby nabídl rozvrácenému národu sny o budoucí slávě, cti a opětovném postavení v čele Evropy. Poté, co se díky směsici propagandy a zmanipulovaných voleb chopil moci, vedla Napoleonova vojska zdánlivě nekonečnou válku po celé Evropě, od Portugalska až po carské Rusko. Mnoho stovek tisíc lidí zemřelo v bitvách nebo na nemoci a hlad. Samotná Francie ztratila během každého roku Napoleonovy vlády v průměru 50 000 vojáků. Napoleon tvrdil, že prosazuje svobodomyslné hodnoty revoluce, aby osvobodil kontinent, ale pak se nechal korunovat císařem, zahájil kroky k obnovení dědičné monarchie a nechal znovu zavést otroctví v celé Francouzské říši. Bohatě ilustrovaný nový životopis autora bestsellerů Mikea Lepina nabízí svěží a nezapomenutelný portrét skutečné vojenské legendy.

Kniha se zabývá životními vývojem Napoleonovy kariéry postavené na jeho schopnosti vést vítězné války, a zejména osudy protivníků Napoleona Bonaparta. Autor se snažil přiblížit čtenářům ty osobnosti, s nimiž se Napoleon při svém vzestupu a pádu setkal. Nejsou tu zdaleka všichni, jen ti, s nimiž se střetl především vojensky, a dále ti, kteří s korunou na hlavě ovlivňovali vojensky a politicky Napoleonův osud. Kniha je členěna do období podle toho, jak se vyvíjela kariéra velkého Korsičana a s jakými osobnostmi se dostal v těchto letech do konfrontace. S některými z nich se Napoleon setkal v průběhu doby vícekrát a jejich medailony jsou proto zařazeny do období, ve kterém se Napoleonův protivník projevil nejvýrazněji.

O Severní Koreji toho víme velmi málo a o vládnoucí dynastii Kimů ještě méně. Strohé zprávy z médií líčí zemi, uzavřenou před okolním světem, jako říši zla, která se chystá pomocí jaderných zbraní zničit celý okolní svět. Kniha Loretty Napoleoni proniká hlouběji do korejského systému a přináší informace, které nám mohou pomoci lépe porozumět tomu, proč je Severní Korea taková, jaká je. Severokorejský vůdce Kim Čong-un se jeví jako tyran, chvílemi směšný, chvílemi krvežíznivý, ale pokud jde o jeho výhrůžky a zda je schopen je naplnit, také nevyzpytatelný. Zkrátka, dle obecně zažitých konvencí je Severní Korea místo, kde se může stát cokoliv špatného, na co jen pomyslíme. Britsko-americká publicistka italského původu Loretta Napoleoni se ale snaží na shora zmíněná paradigmata nahlédnout nejen z jednoho úhlu pohledu, jehož východiskem jsou euro-americké principy demokracie. Neztotožňuje se s binárními definicemi jednoznačného dobra a zla, nýbrž pátrá, zda se věci opravdu mají tak, jak nám je líčí masová média. Její kniha je plná informací a svědectví diplomatů, disidentů a odborníků. Odpovědi na své otázky hledá v záhybech fascinujícího příběhu dvou Korejí, velkého konfliktu studené války, jenž zemi rozdělil, analyzuje excentrickou realitu severokorejského totalitarismu, snaží se pochopit myšlení národa, jehož každodennost ovlivňuje polonáboženská ideologie čučche, na Západě téměř neznámá, ale nepostradatelná pro vysvětlení sektářské psychologie Kimových "poddaných", pokouší se proniknout do temné sítě počítačových zločinů připisovaných Severní Koreji.
