	Andre Massena - LoveToKnow 1911
		His regiment was one of those in the army which occupied Nice, and in the advance to the Apennines which followed, his knowledge of the country, of the language, and of the people was so useful that in December 1793 he was already a general of division.
		This campaign and battle placed his reputation on a level with that of his compatriot Bonaparte, and he might have made the revolution of Brumaire, but he was sincerely attached to the republic, and had no ambition beyond a desire to live well and to have plenty of money to spend.
		In 1808 he was accidentally wounded by his old enemy Berthier when both were in attendance on the emperor at a shooting party, and he lost the sight of one eye.

	» The Battle: A Novel
		The battle scenes have to be amongst the most descriptive and exciting I've ever read, and the character development is very well done without detracting from the main storyline as so often happens in novels like this.
		Essling was a battle where forty thousand men died in two days, thanks to tactics that had all the skill and craft of a Rocky Balboa-Clubber Lang boxing match.
		As for who won the Aspern-Essling battle, there is no doubt that the French suffered a tactical defeat but no wholesale destruction, such as that they themselves inflicted on the enemy in the battle of Wagram, a month later.

		Lannes knew that the fate of the battle was placed in his hands, and that the eye of Napoleon was fixed with the deepest anxiety upon him.
		The roar of battle was forgotten, and reckless alike of his defeat and the peril of his army, of all, save the dying friend by his side, Napoleon knelt over the rude couch and wept like a child.

	The Battle Book at Shop Ireland
		The text should have been interesting, considering that the battle itself was one of Napoleon's few defeats and it may not have been used in an historical novel before.
		As a novel, however, The Battle lacks the feeling and sense of humanity one finds in great battle fiction, its claim to being a novel resting primarily in the fact that the author recreates not only the battle, but the (invented) conversations and thoughts of the participants.
		Although the author does include a minor love interest and glimpses of the author who later calls himself Stendahl, the "biggest" character for me was Vincent Paradis, a young private whose opinions, observations, and movement among camps provide the author with a vehicle for organizing this immense amount of material.

	Amazon.fr : The Battle: Livres en anglais: Patrick Rambaud,Will Hobson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Balzac's plan was to deliver the battle raw, minimizing Napoleon's direct role, but Rambaud shows quite a bit of the Corsican, as well as of his marshals Lannes and Massena.
		Rambaud is less able to avoid historical novel cliches: his Vienna seems plucked from an operetta, while his Napoleon is not fully drawn but characterized mainly by his tics, a lapse at odds with the colorful, ambitious scenes of combat.
		Napoleon dominates Rambaud's account: "he detested familiarity and advice: all he desired of his officers, like his courtesans, was mute obedience." Wherever the emperor goes, his household goods go, too: a mountain of linens, china and food, his iron bedstead, carpet, chandeliers, and a round of parmesan cheese to sprinkle on his soup.

		It's true the battle was for just under 2 days, the events and those involved were in the tens of thousands, and an Author less in command of his subject and its expression could have droned on.
		To those interested in greater detail there are the battle records, as well as outstanding source notes, and brief histories of the remainder of the lives of many key players.
		Patrick Rambaud's "The Battle," skillfully balances the madness of the war fought in the trenches with the madness inherent in commanding a war.

		Cornwell gives the reader a great sense of the flow and shape of an 18th Century battle (granted, it's Scottish Highlanders in India at the Battle of Assaye, but still...).
		I tried reading it in French, but it is now available in English as "The Battle" (try and overlook the cover of the English Edition, David's "Bonaparte crossing the Alps").
		The author has included an unusually striking selection of illustrations which bring home the desperate conditions of the troops, noting that this was the only Napoleonic campaign to have been graphically recorded in such detail.
