Thunder On The Danube, Vol. 1
Parts of this book are excellent and quite informative. I learned a great deal about the reasons behind the 1809 Campaign, especially the mistakes made by the Austrians. Their foreign minister, Stadion, was gung-ho on war and he got it. Napoleon, because of his desire to defeat Britain in the Peninsula, really did not seem to want a war with Austria then, but was not about to back down when the Austrians attacked.
Of primary interest to me me was the Battle of Eggmuhl, which resulted in a victory for part of Marshal Davout's Third Corps. At the end of the first book in the trilogy, the Austrians are dispirited as the Archduke Charles hopes to find an answer to his many problems. This is a good book, but it helps to know something about the subject because the names and actions, particularly of the Austrians can be confusing.
