This review is from: The Napoleonic Wars: The Age of Napoleon [VHS] (VHS Tape)
'The Napoleonic Wars' is appropriately concise at under an hour, but as such it fails to cover its topic thoroughly enough. While it contains fairly detailed information with respect to the most famous battles of the Napoleonic Era, Austerlitz and Waterloo, other equally important periods in Napoleon's military career are mentioned only briefly, such as his conquest of Egypt in 1798. Other events are left out entirely, including his Italian campaign in 1796 (I realize that this campaign was not actually a part of those traditionally considered the Napoleonic Wars, but it is nonetheless relevant to the subject).Also, much of the information in the video is presented in such a way that it seems those who made it assumed the viewer already had some knowledge of the Napoleonic Wars. As a result, this video would make a poor choice as introductory material; at the same time, it's too basic to successfully contribute much knowledge to someone who already has a decent knowledge of the Napoleonic Wars. Its usefulness to me was limited to merely refreshing my memory of a few names, dates, and places. "Caveat emptor." For a comprehensive look at the Napoleonic Wars, look elsewhere.
