Fairly interesting, but a bit surprised that he missed one of the most surprising elements of Napolean's innovations: canned food. Modern war is largely a question of logistics, and canned goods (over foraging) gave them the ability to keep food edible longer over greater distance. Of course, not even canned food could give them victory over the russian winter.
