6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Worth WhileBy George LipanOver the past several months I have read about a dozen books on Napoleon's first Italian Campaign and Dodge's book is one of the better ones. In fact; only Boycott-Brown's Road to Rivoli (not starring Bob Hope Bing Crosby) is better. Dodge was an officer in the Union Army during the US Civil War; then lived the rest of his life in Europe. Dodge explains the history well. The maps suck and the illustrations are atrocious; but I trust Dodge's sense of the period; geography; and lay of the land.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
