A Soldier for Napoleon: The Campaigns of Lieutenant Franz Joseph Hausmann, 7th Bavarian Infantry is a fascinating and highly regarded primary-source account of the Napoleonic Wars, presenting the experiences of Lieutenant Franz Joseph Hausmann as translated by Cynthia Joy Hausmann and expertly edited by noted military historian John H. Gill. Published in 1998 by Greenhill Books and Stackpole Books, this hardcover edition is an important contribution to Napoleonic military literature and offers readers a rare Bavarian perspective on the campaigns that reshaped Europe during the early nineteenth century.
Unlike many broader historical overviews, A Soldier for Napoleon delivers an intimate soldier’s-eye narrative filled with vivid battlefield observations, campaign hardships, military manoeuvres, and reflections on leadership under Napoleon Bonaparte. Hausmann’s memoirs and correspondence provide exceptional insight into the experiences of the Bavarian Infantry serving alongside the French Empire during some of the era’s most dramatic campaigns. The editorial work by John H. Gill further enriches the text through scholarly context, annotations, and supporting material valuable to collectors, historians, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Napoleonic warfare.
Greenhill military history titles have become increasingly collectible due to their quality production values and specialist focus. A Soldier for Napoleon is especially desirable for readers interested in firsthand military narratives, European military history, and the operational realities of the Napoleonic campaigns.
A superb addition to any military history collection, particularly for collectors of Napoleonic studies, campaign memoirs, and rare or out-of-print Greenhill publications.
