A classic example of Napoleon's masterly use of deception to lure his enemy into a carefully devised trap. Beginning with the crushing advance of the French Army from the Rhine to the Danube, David Chandler describes the envelopment of Mack's army at Ulm, the manuevers to Austerlitz and the brilliant counter-attack that resulted in decisive defeat for the Austro-Russian Army.
