Présentation de l'éditeur
We read of a victory and it sounds well, but of a town evacuated, a retreat ordered, we are not always told the reason unless it was a purely strategical one; it might not be wise to say: I could not carry out this plan because 3,000 of my men had no shoes, or that enterprise was given up because there was no food of any kind for the troops, nor money to buy any. The fame of many a great General owes much to the zeal and energy of his Commissary and Quartermaster. Bonaparte had no hesitation in saying, in his strong way, An army crawls upon its belly, and Wellington affirmed the same in more elegant language. The needs of those great commanders, with vast resources behind them, were just the same, in fact, as our first General met, only he had difficulties they never imagined, and so critical was the time, so stupendous the results that hung on all his movements, that for years his weakness must be concealed, sometimes, as he says, even from his oivn officers.
