1796. Desperate for gold and grain, France focuses on the elimination of Austria as an enemy. Twenty-seven-year-old Napoleon Bonaparte joins a ragged army on a ravaged shore to create a diversion to support the main effort against Vienna. Promised 'honour, glory and riches' by his fifth commander in two years, veteran Andr? Jobert leads his light horsemen, hardened by relentless combat and bitter from endless privations, against the determined and disciplined ranks of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire onto the battlefields of Lodi, Castiglione, Arcole and Rivoli.
