Chasing the Austerlitz ideal: The enduring quest for decisive battle

Article Abstract:

Austerlitz would become one of the French emperor's most acclaimed battles, which reaffirmed the lessons of his earlier campaigns, that military victory could bring enormous political results. Annihilation of the enemy's army seemed a realistic means to achieve a strategic goal in contrast with the preceding era of limited warfare, when battles rarely achieved dramatic political gains.
