在Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars的中内伊词条的结尾,钱老评价道:
Ney was much admired by the common soldier , and if he had certain shortcomings as a strategist he was extremely able as commander in battle , displaying boundless courage and dash . His ideal level was that of a crops commander , and aided by Baron Jomini he brought off many successes . The strains of the Russian campaign , and the eventual defection of Jomini to the Allies , affected his later performance .
约米尼作为参谋官文书工作不错,但是要是把内伊后期表现不好的原因归结到一个与他关系都不怎么好的参谋显然就有些过了。
另外不得不感叹下钱老果然是许多经典观点的源头,虽然是第一次读但是他的书总是有一种似曾相识的感觉。
