Considered to be one of the best resources on this period. Intended as a series of lectures for the officers and men of the US 26th Inf. Div, LTC Adlow presents an extremely unbiased and comprehensive account of Napoleon's early Italian campaign. Colonel Adlow's grasp of the events is superb and his ability to communicate them to the reader is truly profound. This reviewer developed a greater understanding of the campaign in Adlow's 200pg book than in all other books combined. A real gem.  This copy is signed by the author.
