Napoleon the only true "student of Caesar"

It seems that he took a great deal of inspiration from Julius but was he the only one at the time that took segments from the book of caesar and made application of his material on the field??

Austerlitz should come to mind almost immediately..

Well if it works it works, but surely there's something a little grossly ironic about a Frenchman being the star student of Julius Caesar - a man who built a politicial career on his Gallic genocide. (Sorry, I know this hardly answers you, just making an observation).

I believe Napoleon brought reading Caesar back into fashion; he certainly initiated a revival of Caesar being taught in France's military academies, although I'm sure most of the great generals of the day would at least have a passing knowledge of him without knowing all of his doctrines. Clausewitz would have certainly been familiar with Caesar although he never held a field command so he wouldn't have been able to put his knowledge into practice.

Another great general that Napoleon advised his commanders to "read and re-read" was Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne, often simply known as "Turenne".

Or Gustav with the Swedes?
