Book excerpt: Bogen handler om om den østrigske Ærkehertug Charles og den Østrig-Ungarske hær, under Habsburgerne, Napoleon's "store fjende og modstander", men som idag er blegnet og næsten glemt, modsat bl.a. Wellington og Blücher. Bogen forsøger at råde bod på dette, og beskrive den østrigske hærs historie under Napoleonstiden. Den bygger på omfattende forskning i den østrigske hærs arkiver. "The largest force continually engaged against Napoleon and the forces of the French Revolution from 1792 to 1814 was the Austrian Army. It was this army which, throughout Europe, carried the burden of war on land. Though repeatedly defeated it always rose again. In 1809 it inflichted the first setback on Napoleon himself and in 1813 contributed the largest contingent to the allied effort in Germany". Ærkehertug Charles (Charles Louis John, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Teschen) 1771-1847, østrigsk general og feltmarskal, tredie søn af Leopold II (af det Hellige Romerske Kejserrige) var en dygtig militær hærfører og strateg, taktiker og organisator, både Wellington og Napoleon havde høje tanker om hans militære dygtighed, og han regnes stadig, trods mere eller mindre glemsel, som en af Napoleon's mest formidable militære modstandere.
