I've heard that Chandler's attempt to break down a Napoleonic "system of maneuver" in his Campaigns is rather controversial, but I've not heard any of the specific arguments levied against it (past that Napoleon himself denied using any such system and at least consciously did not rely on one). What are some points to be made against Chandler's analysis?

I've been able to get my hands on Volume 2 and Volume 3 (specifically the republications by Thierry Lentz) but Volume 1 appears to be utterly absent in any ebook database, for some reason. Curiously, there is a version of Volume 2 with Volume 1's cover labeled as Volume 1 on many platforms, but not the actual Volume 1. I'd be very grateful if anyone found a resource containing it.
Specifically, these are the memoirs written/dictated entirely by Napoleon himself, not those composed by the generals accompanying him on Saint Helena which are also often labeled the Memoirs of Napoleon.
