No other soldier has provoked as much anger or as much fervour as
Napoleon Bonaparte. Was he a monster, driven on by an endless,
ruinous quest for military adventure - or was he a social and
political visionary, brought down by petty reactionaries clinging
to their privileges? Charles Esdaile's major new work reframes our
understanding of Napoleon. Napoleon's Wars looks beyond the
insatiable greed for glory to create a new, genuinely international
context for Napoleon's career. The battles themselves Esdaile sees
as almost side-effects, the consequences of rulers being willing to
take the immense risks of fighting or supporting Napoleon - risks
that could result in the extinction of entire countries and
regimes.
