Forty-four battles of the Napoleonic era in words and pictures
Napoleon was one of the most significant figures in world history;
a military and administrative genius, statesman and despot, he set
Europe ablaze and his influence around the globe resounds to this
day. While there is no real glory in warfare, the Napoleonic
period, with its marching Imperial armies, plumes bobbing above
casques and shakos, and martial figures in uniforms glinting with
steel, brass or bronze, is an irresistibly romantic time that
fascinates both serious students and casual readers. Great battles
were fought across continents, from the heat of the Iberian
Peninsula to the snows of the Russian steppe, from the sands of
Egypt to the northern woodlands of the Canadian frontier. This
world at war, on land and sea, has been chronicled in hundreds of
books, from first-hand accounts by soldiers who knew its battles to
the works of modern historians who know there is an eager
readership. Today we are familiar with photographs of warfare, but
in the early nineteenth century the visual documentation of wars
was undertaken by a host of talented artists and illustrators, and
it is their work that places this unique Leonaur four volume set
above the ordinary. Compiled from the writings of well regarded
historians and experts on the subject, these accounts were
originally part of a multi-volume collection of essays on the
battles of the entire 19th century. Each essay benefits from the
inclusion of illustrations, diagrams and maps to support and
enhance the narrative, many of which will be unfamiliar to modern
readers.
Battles covered in this final volume include San Sebastian,
Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Bergen op Zoom, the Gurkha War, Lundy's
Lane, Toulouse, Ligny, New Orleans and Waterloo.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
