As an exceptionally imaginative work, "Battle" captures the brutality and heroism of one of the greatest conflicts of the 19th century, the Battle of Essling.
The battle began on May 16, 1809, when Napoleon's forces faced the Austro-Hungarian armies at Essling near Vienna. A fight began, which soon turned into a butchery and a maelstrom of terror -- more than 40,000 men were killed in a few days. This battle marked the beginning of the era of the great massacres that would later mark Napoleon's campaigns.
