The Napoleonic Wars gripped Europe, and beyond, for over ten years
at the beginning of the Nineteenth century. Hundreds of battles
were fought between the armies of France (and its allies) and all
those powers that wished to see Napoleon Bonaparte stopped in his
tracks and an end to the French Empire. The battles and sieges of
the Napoleonic Wars, which cost the lives of between 3 and 6
million men, made unprecedented use of large guns, and every
participating army possessed a range of artillery. With the wars
covering such a long period of time, and with so many armies
involved, the subject of Napoleonic artillery is a complicated one,
and no work has attempted to examine all the weapons involved in a
single, detailed volume. Until now. The product of years of
research, this book presents most of what is known about the
artillery pieces of the Napoleonic Wars. Including numerous
drawings, contemporary illustrations and modern photographs of
surviving guns, it will be an invaluable addition to the library of
historians, modellers, wargamers and re-enactors.
