This review is from: West Point Atlas for the Wars of Napoleon (West Point Military History Series) (Spiral-bound)
this collection of maps is a good start to understanding the tactics and strategy of the battles of the Napoleonic Wars but needs the text descriptions the war college provides to really understand the maps.

This review is from: West Point Atlas for the Wars of Napoleon (West Point Military History Series) (Spiral-bound)
This book is to be bought only if your going to be reading a detailed military book about Napoleon's career. Chandler's is probably the best one to use.
made by West Point's History department's Atlas division. As such, it is incredibly detailed and accurate. It lacks smaller unit activity sometimes, but from Italy to Egypt back to Italy to Germany and Prussia, all of the major decisive engagements of the Napoleonic wars are there. I would have liked a Revolutionary Wars prelude, 1792-1796, since those opening campaigns were so crucial to understanding the situation Napoleon found himself in. Already occupying a good deal of territory. Also, showing how different and similar Napoleon's methods were. Definitely dont get this book unless your reading Chandler, a book which has completely explained Napoleon's art of war, tactics to strategy.
