1796. April… May… June… Three months in which Napoleon Bonaparte has the Austrians on the run and forces Piedmont out of the war altogether… On the Rhine the two French armies struggle to make the same sort of progress… And parts of the Papal States are overrun by Bonaparte, who resists pressure from Paris to depose the Pope altogether. This is episode 18 of the Napoleonic Quarterly – covering three months in which the dynamism and energy of a 20-something upstart in north Italy begins a chain of events that will astonish the world.

[12:34] - Rick Schneid on Bonaparte's campaign against the Austrians and Piedmontese

[42:08] - Mary Robinson on the Papal States' humiliation at the hands of the French

[57:08] - Jordan Hayworth on the French offensive on the Rhine against the Austrians

Plus Charles Esdaile and Alexander Mikaberidze provide their usual analysis throughout, including an assessment of the political after-effects of the north Italian tumult.
