The War of Wars: The Epic Struggle Between Britain and France 1793-1815

by RobertHarvey (Author)

Synopsis

"The War of Wars" will be the story of conflict and uneasy peace, of famous generals and renowned battles. It is also a meticulous study of the people who changed the course of history. From the furnace of the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte emerges with a new vision of Europe and conquering Italy and Egypt returned to suppress Paris where he is named Emperor. Only an alliance of nations could resist the rise of French revolutionary army. On land and at sea, throughout the four corners of the continent, from the frozen plains surrounding Moscow and terror on the Caribbean seas, to the muddy low lands of Flanders and the becalmed waters of Trafalgar, "The War of Wars" tells the powerful story of the greatest conflict of the age.
