"The Campaign of Marengo" by Herbert H. Sargent is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the military strategies and the complex events surrounding the Battle of Marengo, fought during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically detailing the maneuvers of both French and Austrian forces under the command of Bonaparte and Melas. It seeks to provide an analytical view of this crucial campaign, highlighting the broader implications of military decisions on the fate of nations. At the start of the narrative, the author outlines the geopolitical landscape as Bonaparte returns from Egypt to a France isolated and threatened by a coalition of enemy forces. Sargent delves into the dire state of affairs for the French, emphasizing the strength of the Austrian armies and the precarious situation of Bonaparte who must rally his troops and construct an effective strategy to counter overwhelming odds. The opening chapters set the stage for an intricate exploration of military tactics and the ideological burdens of warfare, illustrating the intertwining of personal ambition and national destiny in the preparations for the forthcoming conflict.
