Condition: New. Facsimile of all steel-plate engravings (134 double page maps detailed in colour), with index Complete facsimile of all the steel-plate engravings, containing 134 maps, colour coded for troop positions, covering campaigns and battles from the Italian Campaigns in the Valley of the Po in 1796, to the Battle of Wat…erloo in 1815. This is an important atlas of significance for Napoleonic students. Jomini was a Swiss officer who served as a general in the French and later in the Russian service, and one of the most celebrated writers on the Napoleonic art of war. Jomini's ideas were a staple at military academies, the United States Military Academy at West Point being a prominent example; his theories were thought to have affected many officers who later served in the American Civil War. General Halleck commanded the Department of the Missouri and then the Department of the Mississippi. He led the Union forces during the Corinth campaign before he became the commanding general of the Army on 13 July 1862. He served as commanding general until 9 March 1864, when he was designated as the chief of staff.ContentsCENTRAL EUROPE 1795- NOT NUMBEREDITALIAN CAMPAIGNS OF 1796-7, MAPS 1-28:1. Situation 9 April 17962. Battle of Montenotte. Situation late 12 April 1796. Note: Argenteau assembled only 4000 men to opposite Napoleon at Montenotte. 3. Situation 17 April. Note: The first battle of Dego was fought 14 April at which time Beaulieu was moving from Voltri on Acqui via Ovada. Wukassowich was sent to Argenteauâs aid from Voltri on Dego via Sasselo. The second battle of Dego, in which Wukassowich, attacked from the East, was fought 15 April. Colli, checked by Augereau, occupied the Ceva position with 7000 men. He evacuated this position 18 April. 4. Situation 26 April. Note: Jomini stated that Napoleons divisions were at Alba on 26 April. He evidently meant the vicinity thereof. On 24 April Colli had his mass opposite Serrurier; however, the capture of Cherasco on 25 April caused his retreat on Turin. The armistice of Cherasco was signed 28 April. 5. Situation on 4 May. Showing position of Napoleonâs divisions on 29 April and moves up to 4 May. Notes: Napoleonâs strength about 35000. 6. Situation late 6 May. Note: Colli was an Austrian.

Later this division with those of Augereau and Massena moved on Pizzeghetone which was taken 13 May. Some Authorities state that Serrurier got no further than Placentia on 10 May. 9. Wurmserâs First Campaign. Situation 28 July 1796. Notes: Although not mentioned by Jomini; Wurmser did send a small force down the Brenta. This force caused Napoleon to issue orders for Augereau to move on Vicenza. Later these orders were revoked. 10. Wurmserâs First Advance. Situation Early 31 July 1796. Note: Sauret at Salo, was attacked on 29 July and retired to Desenzano, leaving Guyeux besieged in Salo. Massena was attacked by Wurmser early 29 July. Most authorities claim Napoleon ordered Augereau on Vicenza early 30 July. These orders were changed to prescribe a move on Roverbella. 11. Wurmserâs First Advance. Battle of Lonato, 3 August 1796. Situation 3 August and Operations 3 and 4 August. Note: Guyeux took over Sauretâs command when later was wounded on 4 August.

Wurmserâs Second Advance. Situation 2 September 1796. Notes: Vaubois relieved Saurret. Sahuguet relieved Serrurier.
