A. H. Atteridge's biography of Michel Ney. Napoleon's most famous
marshal, is a classic work of its kind. He describes Ney's meteoric
career in vivid detail, from his enlistment as a hussar in the army
of Louis XVI, his rapid promotion through the ranks of the
revolutionary armies and his long service under Napoleon. Ney's
pugnacious character and his capacity for inspiring leadership come
across strongly in innumerable actions across 25 years of almost
constant warfare. Particularly striking are the author's accounts
of Ney's contribution to Napoleon's most famous campaigns - Ulm and
Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau and Friedland and the catastrophic march on
Moscow. Ney's last battle. Waterloo, and his subsequent execution
by the returning Bourbons form the last chapter of this fascinating
story.
