Editorial Reviews

Review
“[T]his is a book about the complicated interplay of economics and diplomacy that occurred between 1796 and 1805. While that might seem potentially mundane, here it is not. And that is the strongest recommendation of the work. It should become mandatory reading for those of us in the Napoleonic field, but it would also be useful for giving graduate or upper-level undergraduates a firm understanding of the period's alliance systems and national finances....Napoleon's Conquest of Europe is an excellent survey of the diplomatic and economic considerations that lead to the great events of 1805. The book would serve upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, buffs and experts equally well and certainly belongs in any good library collection.”–H-War

Review
"Schneid increases his stature among the rising generation of U.S. historians of the Napoleonic Wars with this comprehensively researched and economically presented analysis of the War of the Third Coalition. Demonstrating command of a broad spectrum of sources, he smoothly integrates policy formation, diplomatic interaction, and military operations in a work meriting recognition as a standard introduction to the war that made Napoleon master of Europe." - Dennis Showalter Professor of History, Colorado College author of The Wars of Frederick the Great and Tannenberg: Clash of Empires
