Post subject:  Campaigns in Italy- books and tours

Gentlemen,
I have the opportunity to be in the Lake Garda region of Northern Italy next month with a day to spare.

Can anyone recommend any books about the campaigns in Italy, and/or any specific info about seeing the Rivoli and Arcola battlefields?

Regards,
Tim Coakley

The Road to Rivoli by Brown is good.

Also Eagles over the Alps about the campaign of 1799.

I strongly suggest the following book: "The Defense of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Northern Italy, 1813-1814", By George F. Nafziger and Marco Gioannini. I received it today.

I ordered it direclty by Nafziger from his site, here the link:

Some of the major actions of the campaign took place in the Garda lake - Mincio river area.

Regards,
Luciano

I'd also suggest "The Road to Rivoli" by Martin Boycott-Brown.

In addition I recommend "Napoleon's Italian Campaigns 1805-1815" by Frederick Schneid - a good account in English for campaigns of 1805 and 1809.
