Whether as a general or a statesman; the two decades of Napoleon's maturity; from the triumphant invasion of Italy to the final defeat at Waterloo; were years of extraordinary achievement. Almost as remarkable as the victories were the disasters at Trafalgar; in the Iberian Peninsuala; in Russia and at Leipzig which the Imperial forces survived. James Marshall-Cornwall here analyzes Napoleon as military commander. Since; however; strategy and statecraft were as closely intertwined in Napoleon's career as in that of Oliver Cromwell; it is impossible to consider his generalship in complete isolation.
