How Napoleon marched towards his star
In 1805 Napoleon and his Grand Army gathered on the shores of the
English Channel ready to launch themselves across it's short
expanse to begin the invasion of Britain. But the Royal Navy would
continue to 'rule the waves' to ensure that the essential 'twenty
four hour dominance of the channel' that the Emperor prayed for
would never occur. So it was that he would once again turn his
attention for military conquest towards the East. The brilliant
campaign that culminated in the victory of Austerlitz is told in
this history making it vital reading for all students of the
military history of the Napoleonic epoch.
