Summary: Solid account
Comment: Prior to this book I knew next to nothing about this all important battle from Nappy's early days. This battle illustrates the importance of assigning good men to the command of your Army so that they can arrive in the nick of time to save you from defeat.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good but Cramped
Comment: A very good book, for once abandoning French sources to explore the Austrian side of the story. It could still be better; the limited format makes it impossible to include a bibliography or glossary, and the maps are not as useful as they could be. The text could expand on some of the points made, if there had been room to do so. In spite of these minor problems, I unreservedly recommend it.

Yours,
James D. Gray

Summary: Original Research, New Conclusions
Comment: This author, together with Terry Crowdy, has done a considerable amount of original archive research in both the Kriegsarchiv in Vienna and the S.H.A.T. in Vincennes. Not surprisingly, the new information they have brought to light has shattered the odd cherished myth or two. As such, there are those who have subjected David Hollins to a considerable amount of abuse for the revelations made in this book. Their unfounded and ill-considered comments do not change the facts as established in this work. The falacy of their arguments has been shown on debate on a number of website forae. In all, a well-researched work that is ideal for the purposes it is designed.
