Abstract

Responding to the enemy's innovation in war presents problems to soldiers and societies of all times. This book traces Napoleon's victory over Prussia in 1806 and Prussia's effort to recover from defeat to show how in one particular historical episode operational analyses together with institutional and political decisions eventually turned defeat to victory. The author moves from a comparative study of French and Prussian forces to campaign narrative and strategic analysis. He examines processes of change in institutions and doctrine, as well as their dependence on social and political developments, and interprets works of art and literature as indicators of popular and elite attitudes toward war, which influence the conduct of war and the kind and extent of military innovation. In the concluding chapter he addresses the impact of 1806 on two men who fought on opposing sides in the campaign and sought a new theoretical understanding of war--Henri Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz. Fields of history that are often kept separate are brought together in this book, which seeks to replicate the links between different areas of thought and action as they exist in reality and shape events.

Abstract

"Louis François Lejeune est une figure unique du XIXe siècle : il a mené de front plusieurs carrières, artistique, militaire et politique. Après un apprentissage auprès du peintre Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, il s'engage dans l'armée et intègre le corps du génie. En 1800, il devient aide de camp d'Alexandre Berthier, chef de l'état-major de Napoléon Bonaparte. Sa vie suit désormais les guerres du Consulat et de l'Empire. Au fur et à mesure des campagnes, Lejeune met en scène les combats auxquels il participe jusqu'à la bataille de la Moskova en 1812. Ses tableaux sont d'abord des documents historiques retraçant son engagement au sein de l'armée. Qui douterait de la véracité de ses toiles? Son livret militaire ne mentionne-t-il pas ses onze blessures et ses dix-sept campagnes? Il y était! Il est donc légitime qu'il soit le reporter de l'épopée ..., de son épopée. Car l'acteur est aussi un remarquable metteur en scène. Cet ouvrage montre comment s'élabore un tableau de bataille : à partir des relevés topographiques et des dessins des ingénieurs, de nombreux documents évoquent l'observation militaire. Mais Lejeune s'inscrit aussi dans un mouvement artistique, culturel et politique. Ses oeuvres sont contemporaines des grandes commandes de tableaux passées aux élèves de David. D'un côté, la bataille est traitée comme une peinture d'histoire, de l'autre, chez Lejeune, le spectacle de la guerre revendique la vérité historique. L'humanité familière fictive ou plausible des oeuvres de Lejeune exprime une réalité quotidienne, mêlant l'humour au drame par un rappel importun dans un monde qui s'attend au sublime."--P. [4] of cover.
