In that time, no fewer than eight campaigns involving hundred of thousands of troops were mounted in the Italian peninsula, as France and Austria struggled over this secondary, but still vitally important theater of war. As Frederick Schneid demonstrates in this groundbreaking work, control of Italy was rightly seen by Napoleon as an important means of applying strategic pressure on the Austrians, while simultaneously providing security for France's vulnerable southern flank. As the first in-depth consideration of the struggle for strategically key region, this book places the Italian campaigns into their proper historical context. 606 $aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815$xCampaigns$zItaly 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y1789-1815 615 0$aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815$xCampaigns 676 $a940.2/7 700 $aSchneid$b Frederick C$0718751 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822335303321 996 $aNapoleon's Italian campaigns$93954688 997 $aUNINA
