Volume two of Ney's early career
The second volume of Bulos' account of Marshal Ney's early career
is Ney: Marshal of France. It picks up the story in 1799 and
concludes in 1805. Ney's star is rising and he is more and more
coming to the attention of the First Consul, Napoleon Bonaparte.
This volume covers the battle of Hohenlinden, his administration of
Switzerland before turning to the camp at Boulogne and the
preparations for the invasion of England and the subsequent
campaign leading to victory at Ulm. These essential volumes for
those interested in the Napoleonic epoch are available in soft back
and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.
Volume one of Ney's early career
Antoine Bulos was commissioned by Marshal Ney's family to write a
comprehensive memoir of his life. All students of the Napoleonic
age have visions of Ney at his most iconic-standing with a small
rearguard in the snow fighting off Cossacks during the disastrous
retreat from Moscow or charging bareheaded, his red hair a rallying
point for all, up slopes crowned with red-coated infantry at
Waterloo. These two volumes paint an entirely different portrait,
concentrating as they do on Ney's early career. In volume one-Ney:
General of Cavalry-we see Ney in his formative years as the
consummate commander of light cavalry. This volume, culminating in
1799, reveals how the soldier won his deserved reputation for
courage. Perhaps more surprisingly it shows how Ney was far from
the headstrong but shallow thinker many have portrayed him to be.
Here is a man of both principle and no small capacity for
administration. These essential volumes for those interested in the
Napoleonic epoch are available in soft back and hard cover with
dust jacket for collectors.
