1-218120 LA BATAILLE DE LUTZEN: 1813 In May of 1813, Napoleon began the campaign for Germany with a bang - as was his custom. The Prussian and Russian armies attempted to ambush the French main army strung out in road march. Their approach went undetected and they are able to close within two miles. In fact, not until the moment of their assault do the French become aware of them.

But, instead of the expected weak flank guard, they are met by the strong divisions of Souham and Girard and by mid-afternoon, Napoleon and 100,000 French and their allies have swarmed to their support. The battle raged in ever-mounting fury until night finally brought an end to the slaughter. The first major battle of the 1813 campaign ends with thousands of dead and wounded and with the Russian and Prussian armies in full retreat.

La Bataille de Lutzen simulates the first major clash of Napoleon's 1813 campaign. Lacking adequate cavalry and handicapped by a large number of raw recruits, the French player must rapidly consolidate his scattered forces to counter the sudden Allied attack. As the player commanding the Allied forces, you must deal the French a decisive blow before Napoleon can react and bring reinforcements to bear.

Lutzen is ideal for multiple players or solitaire study. Each turn represents 20 minutes of real time, and each hex equals 100 meters. The rules are the Lutzen version of the award winning system developed by the Marshall Enterprises Household and cover the full range of features characteristic of the Napoleonic battlefield. Players are faced with the same tactical dilemmas their historical counterparts faced, though play balance depends upon their own skill.

1-218130 LA BATAILLE DE DRESDE: 1813 1813, Austria ends its neutrality and enters the VIth Coalition against France. After joining contingents of the Russian and Prussian armies this new army marches north out of Bohemia nearly 200,000 strong. The army marches along the west bank of the Elbe into Saxony, its large lumbering columns stretched across the Erz mountains.

From where he has been pursuing enemy forces to the east, Napoleon sees this new threat aimed at his line of communications and the city of Dresden, the main supply depot for his army. Only a single French Corps stands in its way. Outnumbered nearly ten-to-one, it cannot hold. In a flurry of orders Napoleon redirects his guard and several corps to march to its rescue.

La Bataille de Dresde details the titanic battle that ensued on August 25th and raged through the 27th. Up to 4 players control the Prussian, Austrian and Russian forces commanded by Feldmarschall Carl zu Schwarzenberg, while up to a further four command such French personages as Marshals Ney, Marmont, Mortier, Victor, St. Cyr... or Napoleon, himself. Every battalion of infantry, squadron of cavalry or battery of artillery that was present at the battle is included... and are at their command.

1-666099 CASTALLA 1812 Y 1813 On July 21, the Spanish army of General Jose O'Donnell, confident and secure in their numerical superiority, was brutally beaten in the hoya Castalla near Alicante, by the troops of Marshal Suchet.

A year later, on April 13, 1813, a council of war would raise an army composed of English, Portuguese, Sicilian, and Spanish troops to turn the tide of war in the Spanish Levante. With King Joseph in Vitoria, the Second Battle of Castalla marked the beginning of the end of the French in Valencia, who were forced to leave.

Suchet could not retake the initiative and could only delay as long as possible the imperial debacle in Aragon and Catalonia, abandoned to their fate by King Joseph and the Emperor.

1-66665 Chiclana 1811 - The Defense of Cadiz The Battle of Chiclana, also called the Battle of Barrosa, fought on March 5 of 1811 near Cadiz , was a battle of the Spanish War of Independence . An Anglo-Portuguese division defeated two French divisions, but this had minimal effect on the overall strategy of the war.

The reduction in the number of troops besieging the city gave the Anglo-Spanish garrison an opportunity to lift the siege and to this end a large allied force sailed from Cadiz to Tarifa and then north to attack the French lines by the rear, but the French, under the command of Marshal Victor , learned the moves of the allies and prepared a trap.

A French division blocked the road to Cadiz, while the other two divisions of Victor fell against the British division under the command of Sir Thomas Graham . After a bloody battle on two fronts, the British division defeated the French forces attackers. However, the lack of support from the Spanish contingent prevented an absolute victory, and the French were able to regroup and resume their positions in the siege, the Allies achieved their goal, and even Victor's considered a French victory since the siege C?diz by them could continue until August 24th of 1812.

1-212680 Abel, Jonathan GUIBERT: Father of Napoleon's Grande Armee If there was one man, other than Napoleon himself, who determined the course of the Napoleonic Wars, it was Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, comte de Guibert, the foremost military theorist in France from 1770 to his death in 1790. Taking in the full scope of the times, from the ideas of the Enlightenment to the passions of the French Revolution, Jonathan Abel's Guibert is the first book in English to tell the remarkable story of the man who, through his pen and political activity, truly earned the title of Father of the Grande Armee.

In his Essai General de Tactique, published in 1771, Guibert set forth the definitive institutional doctrine for the French army of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. But unlike many other martial theorists, Guibert, who served in the French Ministry of War from 1775 to 1777 and again from 1787 to 1789, was able to put his ideas into practice.

Drawing on a wealth of primary source documents-including Guibert's own papers and the letters and memoirs of his friends and associates-Jonathan Abel re-creates the temper of an era of great turbulence and remarkable creativity. More than a military theorist, Guibert was very much a man of his day; he attended salons, wrote poetry and plays, and was inducted into the Academie Francaise. A fiery figure, he rose and fell from power, lived and loved fiercely, and died swearing that he would 'find justice.'

In Abel's account, Guibert does at last receive a measure of justice: a thorough, painstakingly documented picture of this complex man in the thick of extraordinary times, building the foundation for Napoleon's success between 1796 and 1807-and in significant ways, changing the course of European history. 1 vol, 296 pgs 2016 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-970011 Arcq, Alain; illust by Florent Vincent WAVRE and NAMUR - 18-21 June 1815 FORGOTTEN BATTLES series: On the evening of the battle of Ligny, Napoleon marched to Waterloo. Winner of the Prussians, the Emperor joined Marshal Ney, who was unable to beat the British allies, Belgian and Dutch at the Battle of Quatre Bras. The Emperor left the Grouchy chase what he believes to be a Prussian army routed. While the cannon thundered in Waterloo, the Army Corps of Grouchy engage the Prussians at the Battle of Wavre. Grouchy did err in not walking to the sound of cannon to Waterloo? Did he simply followed the order of the Emperor?

The volume of real Napoleonic battle totally ignored attempts to restore the truth about this episode. After the Battle of Wavre, this book presents for the first time in full fighting Namur copy and retirement of the French army to France, organized with zeal by Grouchy. This volume concludes the trilogy of battles before the final battle of Waterloo. 60 b/w & color illust & maps etc. 1 vol, 112 pgs 2012 FRANCE, HISTORIC ONE EDITIONS

1-207790 Arnold, James NAPOLEON 1813: Decision at Bautzen Napoleon 1813, with 35 maps, 70+ illust and appendices, describes and explains Napoleon's efforts to recover from the catastrophe of 1812. It dismisses many conventional myths regarding the spring campaign of 1813.

Was Ney to blame for the campaign's failure? What role did Napoleon's lack of cavalry play? Did one of history's 'Great Captains' have a realistic chance to preserve his reign? On the allied side, the role of Prussia is described, including the critical contribution of the much-scorned Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III.

Blucher and the Prussian General Staff emerge with relentless determination to fight the French. Their distrust of the Russians and their own blunders threaten to unravel the Russo-Prussian alliance.

At the heart of the allied effort is Tsar Alexander. His messianic vision to bring down the French emperor works at odds with his decision to usurp command of the allied armies from the military professionals. Throughout the story of the tumultuous spring days, Napoleon 1813 gives voice to the soldiers who participated in a campaign that proved Napoleon's last, best chance to preserve his dynasty. 1 vol, 464 pgs 2015 US, JAMES ARNOLD

Using primary sources gleaned from libraries and archives in Europe and the United States, Napoleon's Triumph describes Napoleon's amazing reversal of fortune. It relates the winter battles that blunted the Russian offensive and then turns to the complex, dramatic Siege of Danzig. Renewed campaigning in the spring witnessed yet another surprise Russian offensive.

But for the leadership of Marshal Michel Ney, Bennigsen would have removed a major French piece from the strategic chessboard. Instead came Napoleon's counteroffensive leading to the Battle of Heilsberg, Napoleon's least-understood major battle. The decisive triumph at Friedland occurred four days later, an encounter heretofore shrouded by biased interpretations, one designed to burnish Napoleon's image, the other to explain away a bad Russian defeat.

1-35760 Austin, Paul Britten 1812: NAPOLEON IN MOSCOW This is the second of three volumes, in which Mr. Britten-Austin paints a riveting picture of Napoleon's Russian Campaign in 1812. The concentration is on that part of the campaign aimed at Moscow, and the activities of other forces, detached to address different targets, are only covered in so far as they impact on the march on, stay-in and retreat from Moscow.

A huge number of personal recollections have been carefully sifted and appropriate extracts selected, and then merged into a continuous narrative, linked almost seamlessly together by Mr.Britten-Austin himself. The result is a masterpiece. The feeling of immediacy is very pronounced and indeed at times the events, harrowing in themselves, are so graphically described by the participants that the reader has to pause, all but overcome by the horror and pathos of the narrative.

This volume is dominated by the conflagration that engulfed most of Moscow immediately after the French arrival, by Napoleon's dithering as he waits for Russian responses that never come to his peace overtures, by Murat's starving forces confronting increasing Russian resistance and by the fatal decision to lurch southwards from Moscow with forces that have already been depleted by hunger and disease, and demoralised by looting and growing breakdowns in discipline. The volume ends with the Emperor's realisation, far too late, that a victory in the field, in the Ukraine or elsewhere, is impossible in 1812 and that retreat is unavoidable. This is grim story of wishful thinking, lack of realism and of a slide towards disaster. Few of the major players come well out of it, other than Prince Eugene Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepson, who in this and the subsequent volume, emerges as an admirable and capable commander in very difficult circumstances. As with the other volumes the footnotes (at the back of the book) are a joy, often packed with detailed information that sheds significant illumination on the main text.

1-209520 Baker-Smith, Veronica WELLINGTON'S HIDDEN HEROES: The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo The Duke of Wellington described the Battle of Waterloo as 'the most desperate business I ever was in . . . I was never so near being beat.' The courage of British troops that day has been rightly praised ever since, but the fact that one-third of the forces which gave him his narrow victory were subjects, not of George III, but of the King of the Netherlands has been almost completely ignored. This book seeks to correct a grave injustice through the study of Dutch sources, the majority of which have never been used by English-speaking historians.

The Dutch-Belgians have been variously described as inexperienced, incompetent and cowardly, a rogue element in the otherwise disciplined Allied Army. It is only now being tentatively acknowledged that they alone saved Wellington from disaster at Quatre Bras. He had committed a strategic error in that, as Napoleon advanced, his own troops were scattered over a hundred kilometers of southern Belgium.

Outnumbered three to one, the Netherlanders gave him time to concentrate his forces and save Brussels from French occupation. At Waterloo itself, on at least three occasions when the fate of the battle 'hung upon the cusp,' their engagement with the enemy aided British recovery. Their commander - the Prince of Orange - has been viciously described as an arrogant fool, a disaster waiting to happen, and even a dangerous lunatic. According to the assessment of Wellington himself, he was a reliable and courageous subordinate.

This book reveals a full assessment of the challenge Willem I faced as king of a country hastily cobbled together by the Congress of Vienna, and of his achievement in assembling, equipping and training 30,000 men from scratch in 18 months. 1 vol, 208 pgs 2015 US, CASEMATE

The book deals with all aspects of the campaign, from grand strategy, with the proposed marriage alliance between the House of Orange and the House of Hanover, to tactical analysis of the battles and sieges that took place, including the disastrous attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, where heroic British soldiers paid with their lives for their commanders' failures. The problems of co-operation between the British and Prussians described here foreshadowed those, which would affect Wellington in 1815.

1-202360 Bamford, Andrew SICKNESS, SUFFERING, AND THE SWORD: The British Regiment on Campaign -- 1805-1815 Although an army's success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field. This work assesses the effectiveness of the British Army in sustained campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars and a fresh and controversial look at Britain's military system -- showing that success or failure on campaign rested on the day-to-day experiences of regimental units rather than the army as a whole.

Bamford draws his title from the words of Captain Moyle Sherer, who during the winter of 1816-1817 wrote an account of his service during the Peninsular War: 'My regiment has never been very roughly handled in the field. . . . But, alas! What between sickness, suffering, and the sword, few, very few, of those men are now in existence.' Bamford argues that those daily scourges of such often-ignored factors as non-combat deaths and equine strength and losses determined outcomes on the battlefield.

In the 19th century, the British Army was a collection of regiments rather than a single unified body, and the regimental system bore the responsibility of supplying manpower on that field. Between 1808 and 1815, when Britain was fighting a global conflict far greater than its military capabilities, the system nearly collapsed. Only a few advantages narrowly outweighed the army's increasing inability to meet manpower requirements. This book examines those critical dynamics in Britain's major early 19th-century campaigns: the Peninsular War (1808-1814), the Walcheren Expedition (1809), the American War (1812-1815), and the growing commitments in northern Europe from 1813 on.

Drawn from primary documents, Bamford's statistical analysis compares the vast disparities between regiments and different theaters of war and complements recent studies of health and sickness in the British Army. 1 vol, 328 pgs 2013 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-229770 Barry, Quintin FAR DISTANT SHIPS: The Blockade of Brest, 1793-1815 Throughout the long drawn-out war at sea during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, it was a cardinal principle of British naval strategy to blockade the port of Brest, the largest and most important of the French naval bases that threatened the security of the British Isles.

Traces the development of British naval strategy, as well as describing the crucial encounters between the rival fleets and the single ship actions. Includes 21 black and white illustrations and seven maps.

There were many aspects to the blockade of Brest, but always at its centre was the need to frustrate French attempts at the invasion of Britain or Ireland. Most famous of these, of course, was Napoleon's intricate combination that led to the campaign of Trafalgar, in the course of which his invasion plans disintegrated. But there were many other offensive moves which it was the blockading fleet's duty to prevent. Inevitably, there were great sea battles when the French ventured out, though fewer than might have been expected.

1-914032G Bey, Frederic VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #32: Wattignies 1793 At the end of summer 1793, the French thwarted the English Army's attempted siege of Dunkerque by their victory at Hondschoote on their Hanoverian allies. This setback did not disrupt the plans of Austria's Prince of Coburg. With the Austrian Army, he lay siege to Maubeuge, one of the last citadels protecting the border from northern France. It could not hold out long.

Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, the new commander of the Army of the North, spurred on by Lazare Carnot, prominent war minister for the Committee of Public Safety, quickly assembled 45,000 troops to clear the area. On October 15, 1793, the French launched disjointed attacks and were unsuccessful.

The next day, the French concentrated their attack on their right wing, toward the village of Wattignies, whose seizure would force the Austrians to retreat. Fog concealed their initial efforts and Carnot took the village. The Prince of Coburg feared for the survival of his army and prudently ordered their retreat as the French commanders had expected. The siege of Maubeuge was lifted and the Coalition was once again defeated by the troops of the young French Republic.

1-204280 Boue, Gilles LEIPZIG 1813 Around Leipzig between 14-19 October 1813, 500,000 men would battle on what remains the greatest battlefield of the Napoleonic wars. Napoleon would fight to keep his grip on Germany and beyond his empire. The Russians, the crowned winners of the unthinkable victory of their 1812 winter campaign, the Prussians, and their vehemence against France, the Austrians, wanting to erase fifteen years of defeats, all unite against the last Grand Army.

Napoleon succeeded at the feat of rebuilding a credible army on the ruins of 1812; the young recruits would march to the canon surrounded by survivors of the Berezina or the remote sierras of Spain.

The spring campaign has cast doubt on the coalition, however, the battles lost by the allies did not define their defeat. From the depths of Russia, Prussia, and Central Europe, ran hundreds of thousands of troops in the plains of Saxony.

And it is here, on the several dozen square miles of battlefield that the fate of the First Empire will be played out. 1 vol, 84 pgs 2014 FRANCE, HISTOIRE AND COLLECTIONS

The story moves from Kronstadt to Corfu, to the siege of Ragusa and battle at Mount Athos, to the chaotic reshuffling of alliances with the signing of the Treaty of Tilsit and the ill-fated dispersion of the fleet among the British, French, and Austrians. Unabridged, illustrated with all the original engravings, featuring newly translated maps and annotated throughout with notes and corrections. Includes 22 black & white illustrations and five maps.

Straddling the Wars of the Third and Fourth Coalitions and the Russo-Turkish War, Senyavin carefully maneuvered around multiple threats from all sides with limited resources and came through with minimal losses, though political circumstances ultimately robbed him of the laurels.

Told from the perspective of a midshipman aboard the frigate Venus, but augmented and expanded with archival data and interviews with his comrades and acquaintances, Bronevskiy illuminated an often-overlooked theater of war and sought to teach his readership about the myriad cultures and rich history of the region, transforming his personal journals into a comprehensive history of the campaign. His scope varies from personal interactions with civilians and tours of local landmarks to the diplomatic correspondence of general and admirals and the combat actions of whole squadrons and corps. 1 vol, 684 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-236480 Brown, Steve FIT TO COMMAND: British Regimental Leadership in the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars Regimental and battalion commanders are perhaps the most-overlooked cohort of the British Army during the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. 19th-century histories tending to be written from the top down, such that the decisions of the commanding generals took primacy; the battalion commanders existed at the very bottom of that chain and so were infrequently seen.

In contrast, contemporary works have concentrated on a bottom-up view of history, placing the memoirs of the rank and file and junior officers as central to the action, and for these writers the battalion commanders generally existed at the rarely seen outer edge of their regimental experience.

This book seeks to bring the battalion commanders of the British army in the period 1793 to 1815 into sharp focus and enable to see their progression -- how the field officers of Wellington's victorious Peninsula army of 1814 were dramatically better equipped for their roles than their earlier counterparts in Flanders in 1793. Includes 25 b/w photos, 1 map, 3 diagrams, 29 tables, and two graphs.

We are left with a documentary vacuum at field officer levels. Yet within this vacuum, battalion commanders - lieutenant-colonels and majors - were undertaking a very difficult task for which the British Army frequently failed to equip them for, intellectually or physically. Not only did they have to administer an organization of maybe 1,000 men or more but were also responsible for directing small-unit tactics on the battlefield, as well as providing inspiring leadership to their men. Most commanders had to learn their craft on-the-job.

Singular examples of outstanding battalion leadership such as Colborne at Waterloo, Stirling at Alexandria, and Inglis at Albuera bring into focus the qualities required of good battalion commanders. Conversely, the impact of a bad commander could be disastrous, and at times lead to the near-destruction of the units - such as the 2/69th at Quatre Bras - or near-mutiny, as happened within the 85th Foot in 1813. 1 vol, 372 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

Volume 1 covers in great detail the cavalry regiments that comprised the army of King George III for the period of the Great War with France, and the men who commanded them. Regimental data provided includes shortform regimental lineages, service locations and dispositions for the era, battle honors won, tables of authorized establishments, demographics of the field officer cohorts and of the men.

Volumes 2 to 5 will extend the coverage to ultimately record over 4,500 biographies across more than 200 regiments.

These biographies show the regimental system in action, officers routinely transferring between regiments for advancement or opportunity, captains who were also (brevet) colonels, many who retired early, and some who stayed the distance to become major generals and beyond. Where it has been possible to accurately ascertain, advancement by purchase, exchange, or promotion has also been noted. 1 vol, 358 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-210580 Brown, Steve and Burnham, Robert WELLINGTON'S REDJACKETS: The 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment on Campaign in South America and the Peninsula, 1805-14 The assault was failing. Wellington's men had stormed the walls of the great frontier fortress of Badajoz only to be beaten back with terrible losses. Then on the keep of the old castle the French flag was torn down and a British officer's red jacket was hauled up the flagpole. It was the signal - the British were inside Badajoz!

This was one of the most famous incidents during the Peninsular War and marked not only the turning point in the capture of Badajoz but of the entire conflict. The jacket belonged to Lieutenant James MacPherson of the 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment. The 45th had landed with Wellington at Mondego Bay in 1808 and fought with him throughout the entire Peninsular War gaining more battle honors than any other line regiment.

Wellington's Redjackets, The 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment on Campaign in South America and the Peninsular War is one of the most detailed unit histories ever published of a regiment during the Napoleonic era. As the first, and only, study of this regiment, Wellington's Redjackets will undoubtedly be an essential purchase for those interested in Napoleonic warfare. 1 vol, 320 pgs 2016 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-197320 Burnham, Robert CHARGING AGAINST WELLINGTON: The French Cavalry in the Peninsular War, 1807-1814 Eight pages of color plates, biblio, index.

The book is divided into three sections. The first contains biographies of 80 generals who led the French cavalry, focusing on the time they served in the Peninsula and its impact on their careers. Two went on to become Marshals of France and many were promoted and given greater responsibilities. For others, their careers were damaged while serving in Spain or Portugal - nine were relieved from their commands. Nearly half of the generals were killed, wounded, captured, or died from their wounds in Spain: a high price for glory.

The second section looks at the ever-changing organization of the cavalry, where the various regiments and brigades were located and who commanded them. This is not as easy a task as it may appear, because a considerable amount of the cavalry was provisional regiments, consisting of squadrons drawn from other regiments. By April 1814, the Peninsula cavalry was down to 4,000 men - a shadow of the force that invaded six years before. Charging Against Wellington chronicles all the changes, showing which units left, when they left, and how their departure impacted the army.

The third section looks at the service record of the 70+ French cavalry regiments that fought in Spain and Portugal. There is a table for each regiment that tracks the regiment's colonels, composition, organization, strength, and casualties while in the Peninsula, and when its various squadrons arrived and departed. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2011 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

Their characters, experience, and level of competence were key factors in the successes and failures of the army as a whole. Their biographies give us a fascinating insight into their individual backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses, and the makeup of the society they came from.

1-197330 Burnham, Robert and Ron McGuigan THE BRITISH ARMY AGAINST NAPOLEON: Facts, Lists and Trivia 1805-1815 Sixteen pages of color plates, biblio, index

Despite the bewildering number of tomes devoted to the Napoleonic wars, much basic data as been hitherto unavailable to anyone other than the most ardent scholars. McGuigan and Burnham have collected a tremendous treasure trove of information in a readily accessible form. Other books may tell you how many regiments were sent on the expedition to Hanover in 1805, but The British Army against Napoleon will tell you where every single regiment in the British army was stationed, who were their honorary colonels, and give you a list of all the barracks in Britain with the number of men they were designed to hold.

Where else will you find not just the pay of different ranked officers but the amount of income tax they paid, as well as all the other deductions and stoppages that reduced their actual receipts to a fraction of their nominal (and generally quite low) pay? Or pension charts for widows? There are tables that list all the recipients of the honors and awards issued, casualties in action and disease, and seniority of officers of the numerous expeditions and campaigns (a matter not just of curiosity but of major significance, for the date of rank of an officer determined who commanded the force and all of its sub-units). 1 vol, 336 pgs 2011 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

It was the first campaign fought in the Peninsular by Sir Arthur Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, yet it tends to be overshadowed by more famous episodes in the six-year conflict that followed.

1-212030 Buttery, David WELLINGTON AGAINST SOULT: The Second Invasion of Portugal 1809 At the heart of David Buttery's third book on the Peninsular War lies the comparison between two great commanders of enormous experience and reputation - Arthur Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, and Jean de Dieu Soult.

In Soult, Wellesley met one of his most formidable opponents and they confronted each other during one of the most remarkable, and neglected, of the Peninsular campaigns. Soult's invasion of Portugal is rarely studied in great depth and, likewise, the offensive Wellesley launched, which defeated and expelled the French, has also received scant coverage.

As well as giving a fresh insight into the contrasting characters of the two generals, the narrative offers a gripping and detailed, reconstruction of the organization and experience of a military campaign 200 years ago. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2016 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-192350 Caldwell, George THOMAS PLUNKETT OF THE 95TH RIFLES: HERO, VILLAIN, FACT OR FICTION? This book, being a combination of new research by George Caldwell and together with the Captain Miller memoir reset from issues of the Royal United Services Journal, investigates the facts surrounding a piece of famous regimental lore that covers the unique ability of an early Rifleman, Thomas Plunkett. Discussion groups and individuals have put all kinds of fanciful theories together as to the prowess and accuracy of an incident on the retreat to Corunna in 1809, involving the shooting of the French Light Cavalry General, Colbert.

This book examines the facts involved, while at the same time it expands on Plunkett the man, his character and his natural trait as a soldier. Plunkett was without doubt an exceptional shot with the rifle, a lovable Irish rogue, who seems to have ticked all the right boxes for what has become acceptable for the stereotype Rifleman of the 95th Rifles during the Napoleonic Wars. This fascinating account of the one rifleman who has escaped publication so far is a must for all enthusiasts of the Rifles in the Peninsular War. 1 vol, 122 pgs 2010 UK, KEN TROTMAN

1-235510 Clammer, David LADIES, WIVES AND WOMEN: British Army Wives in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815 During the Napoleonic wars it was customary for British troops ordered on active service to take some of their wives with them. The usual proportion was six women per hundred men. The wives who were to accompany their husbands were chosen by ballot: excitement for the lucky ones and anguish for those left behind. The latter often marched with the regiment to the port of departure, desperate to remain with their men till the last moment, and there were harrowing scenes as families were separated, perhaps forever.

The women who were to accompany their husbands had to endure all the hazards of the high seas, often in slow and leaky transports. In bad weather, conditions resembled a slave ship, with men and women battened down below, rolling about and seasick in the darkness. There were storms, fires, childbirth, and sometimes shipwrecks to contend with.

Once landed in the theater of war, the women faced a life of almost constant marching in summer heat and winter cold. Most of them managed to acquire a donkey to carry their few possessions. There were no tents until late in the war, and regiments were either quartered in whatever buildings were available, or bivouacked in the open. Clothing and especially shoes wore out, and women often had to supply their wants by stripping the dead. Food was frequently in short supply, and, as they were entitled only to half a man's ration, they were notorious plunderers. This frequently resulted in brutal punishment from the provost marshals.

After battles or sieges, soldiers' wives tended the wounded, but they were also determined looters, and shared the army's besetting sin of drunkenness. Occasionally they were taken prisoner, and were sometimes involved in the actual fighting. More often they had to search a battlefield for a wounded husband or his mutilated remains. Many women were widowed, and solved the problem by quick remarriage to another soldier, some of them several times.

After the war, the survivors came home to an uncertain future. Some prospered; others slipped into penury. Some had a surprising later life, and a few earned themselves permanent memorials. Most vanished from the record. This book is an attempt to shed some light on these forgotten heroines and their part in the country's long war against the French. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2022 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-238320 Contreras, Joaquin Garcia and Malcolm Marsh BRITISH AND SPANISH RELATIONS DURING THE PENINSULAR WAR: The British Gracchi At the start of the Spanish Peninsular War (1808-1814), the climate in London was favorable to cooperation with Spain. Yet the feeling of failure soon took hold of British society due to having embarked in another long and costly war, and many felt disappointment with the scarce cooperation of Spanish troops. Among the few who defended the importance of the Spanish cause were the Wellesley brothers, the 'British Gracchi,' who together maintained this fragile alliance between both countries until the final victory over the French.

Richard, the eldest brother and Minister of Foreign Affairs for the United Kingdom, changed the war against France and was decisive in the success on the Iberian Peninsula. Beside him, his younger brother Henry coordinated official relations between Britain and Spain in his role as ambassador plenipotentiary in Cadiz, maintaining a climate of collaboration up to the end of the war. But the efforts of the two brothers would not have borne fruit without the intervention of a third, Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Wellington), who, in a five-year campaign defeated the French troops which outnumbered his, liberating Portugal and Spain from Napoleon's grip. 1 vol, 232 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-210000 Cornwell, Bernhard WATERLOO: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles On June 18, 1815, the armies of France, Britain, and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which the town gave its name would become a landmark in European history.

In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment-from Napoleon's daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, Cornwell brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles-as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2015 US, HARPER

The author of Vicissitudes in the Life of a Scottish Soldier was one of the survivors and claims only four other men from his company came through the entire six years with him.

As one of Wellington's elite Light Infantry units the 71st were in the fore of the fighting in some of the hardest fought battles of the Peninsular War. The book was controversial on its release in 1827 for its unvarnished and unsentimental account of the grim war against the French in Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and France itself. A cynic with a highly developed sense of humor, the author was not afraid to criticize his superiors, be they thieving sergeants or officers who were far from gentlemen.

1-218300 Crowdy, Terry MARENGO: The Victory That Placed the Crown of France on Napoleon's Head On 14 June 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte fought his first battle as French head of state at Marengo in northern Italy. Unexpectedly attacked, Napoleon's army fought one of the most intense battles of the French Revolutionary Wars. Forced to retreat, and threatened with encirclement, Napoleon saved his reputation with a daring counterattack, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. This battle consolidated Napoleon's political position and placed the crown of France within his reach.

Meticulously researched using memoirs, reports, and regimental histories from both armies, this casts new light on this crucial battle and reveals why Napoleon came so close to defeat and why the Austrians ultimately threw their victory away. Focuses on the leading personalities in the French and Austrian camps, describes the key events leading up to the battle, and covers the complex armistice negotiations which followed. Exposes the full story of Carlo Gioelli, the enigmatic Italian double agent who misled both armies in the prelude to battle. Includes 22 illustrations. 1 vol, 336 pgs 2018 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-228850 Crowdy, Terry FRENCH LIGHT INFANTRY 1784-1815: From the Chasseurs of Louis XVI to Napoleon's Grande Armee Explores the origins of the light infantry in the century before Napoleon came to power. From bands of irregular partisans, to sharpshooters and scouts, the book follows France's early experiments with this arm. Drawing on contemporary documents, including the French parliamentary archives, this book charts the expansion of the light infantry arm, reviews the reasons behind organizational changes, and analyses the tactics employed by light infantry in meticulous detail. Lavishly illustrated, this book is an essential reference for students and hobbyists of the Napoleonic Wars. Includes 66 b/w illustrations, 24 pages of color plates, and 23 tables.

In 1792 France unleashed a new form of warfare in Europe. Faced with the well-drilled Austrian and Prussian armies, the French introduced the tactic of mass skirmishing by tirailleurs. Soldiers were thrown forwards and told to fight in open order. Moving quickly and making use of cover, they fired on the enemy line, annoying it, goading it, and all the time distracting it from the infantry columns coming up behind, bristling with bayonets, ready for the charge and a shock action. Of these tirailleurs, the best were the professional chasseur light infantry battalions, raised and trained in the army of Louis XVI; but they were too few in number. A patriotic appeal for light infantry volunteers was made, and within two years the original twelve battalions became ninety strong.

By the time of Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, there were 185 battalions of light infantry in service, with hundreds of voltigeur light companies attached to the regular line infantry battalions. Although all infantrymen could fight as tirailleurs, specialist light infantry did it best, and were clearly an important part of Napoleon's armies. 1 vol, 198 pgs 2021 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-218540 Davies, Huw J. SPYING FOR WELLINGTON: British Military Intelligence in the Peninsular War Intelligence is often the critical factor in a successful military campaign. This was certainly the case for Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, in the Peninsular War. This book offers the full account of the scope, complexity, and importance of Wellington's intelligence department, describing a highly organized, multifaceted series of networks of agents and spies throughout Spain and Portugal - an organization that was at once a microcosm of British intelligence at the time and a sophisticated forebear to intelligence developments in the twentieth century.

He had, in effect, two parallel networks: one made up of Foreign Office agents 'run' by British ambassadors in Spain and Portugal, and the other comprising military spies controlled by Wellington himself. The network of agents supplied strategic intelligence, giving the British army advance warning of the arrival, destinations, and likely intentions of French reinforcements. The military network supplied operational intelligence, which confirmed the accuracy of the strategic intelligence and provided greater detail on the strengths, arms, and morale of the French forces.

By integrating these two forms of intelligence, Wellington was able to develop an extremely accurate and reliable estimate of French movements and intentions not only in his own theater of operations but also in other theaters across the Iberian Peninsula. The reliability and accuracy of this intelligence was central to Wellington's decision-making and, ultimately, to his overall success against the French.

Correcting past, incomplete accounts, it contributes to a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of Wellington at war and of his place in the history of British military intelligence. 1 vol, 328 pgs 2018 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-215300 Dawson, Paul MARSHAL NEY AT QUATRE BRAS: New Perspectives on the Opening Battle of the Waterloo Campaign Fought on 16 June 1815, two days before the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Quatre Bras has been described as a tactical Anglo-allied victory, but a French strategic victory. The French Marshal Ney was given command of the left wing of Napoleon's army and ordered to seize the vital crossroads at Quatre Bras, as the prelude to an advance on Brussels. The crossroads was of strategic importance because the side which controlled it could move southeastward along the Nivelles-Namur road. Including 16 illustrations and a central plate section.

Yet the normally bold and dynamic Ney was uncharacteristically cautious. As a result, by the time he mounted a full-scale attack upon the Allied troops holding Quatre Bras, the Duke of Wellington had been able to concentrate enough strength to hold the crossroads. Ney's failure at Quatre Bras had disastrous consequences for Napoleon, whose divided army was not able to reunite in time to face Wellington at Waterloo. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-215560 Dawson, Paul NAPOLEON AND GROUCHY: The Last Great Waterloo Mystery Unravelled One of the enduring controversies of the Waterloo campaign is the conduct of Marshal Grouchy. Given command of a third of Napoleon's army and told to keep the Prussians from joining forces with Wellington, he failed to keep Wellington and Blucher apart with the result that Napoleon was overwhelmed at Waterloo. Grouchy, though, was not defeated. He kept his force together and retreated in good order back to France.

Many have accused Grouchy of intentionally holding back his men and not marching to join Napoleon when the sound of the gunfire at Waterloo could clearly be heard, and he has been widely blamed for Napoleon's defeat. This is a subject which is generally overlooked by British historians, who tend to concentrate on the actions of Wellington and Napoleon, and which French historians choose not to look at too closely for fear that it might reflect badly upon their hero Napoleon.

Grouchy's conduct during the Waterloo campaign is analyzed in fine detail, drawing principally on French sources not previously available in English. The author, for example, answers questions such as whether key orders did actually exist in 1815 or were they later fabrications to make Grouchy the scapegoat for Napoleon's failures? Did General Gerard really tell Grouchy to 'march to the sound of the guns?' Why did Grouchy appear to move so slowly when speed was essential? 1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-216310 Dawson, Paul WATERLOO: The Truth At Last - Why Napoleon Lost the Great Battle During October 2016 Paul Dawson visited French archives in Paris to continue his research surrounding the events of the Napoleonic Wars. Some of the material he examined had never been accessed by researchers or historians before, the files involved having been sealed in 1816. These seals remained unbroken until Paul was given permission to break them to read the contents.

Forget what you have read about the battle on the Mont St Jean on 18 June 1815; it did not happen that way. The start of the battle was delayed because of the state of the ground - not so. Marshal Ney destroyed the French cavalry in his reckless charges against the Allied infantry squares - wrong. The stubborn defense of Hougoumont, the key to Wellington's victory, where a plucky little garrison of British Guards held the farmhouse against the overwhelming force of Jerome Bonaparte's division and the rest of II Corps - not true. Did the Union Brigade really destroy d'Erlon's Corps, did the Scots Greys actually attack a massed French battery, did La Haie Sainte hold out until late in the afternoon?

All these and many more of the accepted stories concerning the battle are analyzed through accounts (some 200 in all) previously unpublished, mainly derived through French sources, with startling conclusions. Most significantly of all is the revelation of exactly how, and why, Napoleon was defeated. 1 vol, 568 pgs 2018 UK, FRONTLONE BOOKS

1-240190 Dawson, Paul THE BATTLE AGAINST THE LUDDITES: Unrest in the Industrial Revolution During the Napoleonic Wars Uncovers the origins of Luddism and their allies in the middle classes. Taking their name from Ned Ludd, who had smashed up knitting frames in Nottingham, the Luddites saw the emergence of mechanization as a threat to their livelihood, with machines replacing men. In response they took matters into their own hands by wrecking the new equipment.

The Napoleonic Wars marked the end of centuries old way of life in agriculture, textile production and the wider economy. The dramatic changes in Britain between 1790 and 1815 created a unique set of social grievances by those left behind by the unprecedented changes. Months of violence swept across the West Midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire which saw one factory boss murdered; other factory owners began shooting protesting workers. The disturbances resulted in the mobilizing of thousands of regular soldiers - at one time there were as many British soldiers fighting the Luddites than there were fighting Napoleon on the Iberian Peninsula. With present day concerns over computerization replacing labor, this is a story that echoes down the centuries. 1 vol, 232 pgs 2023 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-242830 Dawson, Paul THE NAPOLEONIC 'DAD'S ARMY': The British Volunteer Movement, 1794-1814 Discusses how the aim of the 'Loyal Britons' was to organize patriotic, anti-French forces in defense of king and country and to help maintain the established order - thus leading to the Volunteer Act of 1794 to fight against the French. By 1804, there were 380,000 volunteers under arms and the various corps made up half to one third of all the home service forces, combined with volunteers who agreed to serve overseas, as garrison troops in India for example, the number grows to approximately 800,000 - meaning that around one in every five adult males participated in military activities.

The actions between Papelotte and Frischermont were critical in the story of the battle, but have, so far, been seldom studied.

This book explores the long gestation of clothing and equipping the cuirassiers, the development of the arm from twelve regiments to twenty-one - if we include the carabiniers from 1811 - and how their clothing evolved across the period. As well as assessing the cuirassiers, the story of the evolution of the uniforms of the carabiniers is also told.

1-214070 Dawson, Paul Lindsay NAPOLEON'S GODS: The Grenadiers a Cheval 1812-1815 The senior regiment of Napoleon's Imperial Guard was the Grenadiers a Cheval, nicknamed the Gods, and hence the title of this book.

As heavy cavalry of the Guard, they took part in the charge of the cavalry of the Guard at Austerlitz. They especially took a share of glory with their charge at Eylau on 8 February 1807. They served in Spain, Austria and Russia. No other cavalry regiment in the French army compared to its service in 1813 and 1814, the campaigns of the Guard par excellence. They were present at Dresden, Leipzig and especially Hanau where they charged the Austrian and Bavarian cavalry, and took part in the famous charges of the Imperial Guard at Waterloo.

This book provides a brief introduction to Napoleon's Imperial Guard and the regiment's place in it, as well as brief early history of the regiment, and a hoof-to-tack description of the Grenadiers a Cheval from the fateful Russian campaign of 1812 to its disbandment in 1815 following the disaster of Waterloo. It describes the horses, uniforms and equipment of the regiment, as well as regimental organization, and provides short biographies of the officers and some of the men, giving a vivid picture of how the men of the regiment lived, and in some cases, how they died. 1 vol, 404 pgs 2017 UK, BLACK TENT PUBLICATIONS

These colorful lithographs, each accompanied by a text by an unidentified author describing the unit depicted, were published in book form in 1822 as Collection des Uniformes des Armees Francaises de 1791 a 1814 (Paris: Gide fils, 1822).

The broad range of uniforms depicted includes many from infrequently-illustrated foreign and auxiliary units in the French army. The images also include unusual back and side views of uniforms. The images in this book are contemporary watercolor copies of the prints and are reproduced with permission from the Anne S. K.

Rather than focusing on the history of the 30th Regiment of the Line in action and on campaign, she explores its organization, traditions and hierarchy, its personnel, and the ethos that held it together.

Using primary source material, in particular surviving regimental records, War Office documents, letters and journals, Divall reconstructs the life of the 30th Foot - and the lives of the men who served in it - during a critical period in Europe's military history. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2011 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-195370 Divall, Carole REDCOATS AGAINST NAPOLEON: The 30th Regiment During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars Companion volume to Inside the Regiment: The Officers and Men of the 30th Regiment During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Military histories of the struggle against the French armies of the Revolution and Napoleon often focus on the exploits of elite units and famous individuals, ignoring the essential contribution made by the ordinary soldiers - the bulk of the British army. Carole Divall, in this graphic and painstakingly researched account, tells the story of one such hitherto ignored group of fighting men, the 30th Regiment of the Line. She takes their story from one of the opening clashes of the long war, the Siege of Toulon in 1793, to the decisive Battle of Waterloo in 1815. She gives us a fresh perspective on key events the men took part in - Massena's retreat from the Lines of Torres Vedras, the bloody storming of Badajoz, the retreat from Burgos, the ordeal of the troops holding the centre of Wellington's Waterloo position. The regiment's history - which she describes using some hitherto unpublished and vivid memoirs left by the men themselves and those they fought alongside - offers a fascinating insight into the life of British soldiers two centuries ago. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2011 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-219270 Divall, Carole THE BRITISH ARMY IN EGYPT 1801: An Underrated Army Comes of Age When the French declared war on Great Britain in 1793, they undermined the chosen policy of William Pitt, which had been to avoid conflict in order to repair the nation's finances. The result of this policy was an understrength army with inadequate resources. Whether campaigning on the continent in coalition with other European powers or picking up the colonial possessions of France and her allies, this army did little to add to its reputation. Includes 38 color illustrations, 13 b/w illustrations, and 7 b/w maps.

Yet, despite appearances, as the decade progressed there could be no doubt that improvements were taking place. When it was decided in 1800 that the French Army of the Orient, abandoned by Bonaparte, could be ejected from Egypt, the troops sent to achieve this objective were of a very different quality from those that had been dispatched to Flanders in 1793. This study analyses that force and its commanders, examines the preparations that contributed so notably to its success, and evaluates why it was able to take the fight to a battle-hardened Revolutionary force and defeat it. 1 vol, 184 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-201230 Edwards, Peter SALAMANCA 1812: Wellington's Year of Victories The Battle of Salamanca, on 22 July, saw some 50,000 French troops arrayed against a similar number of allies. Using ground astutely, Wellington gained a crushing victory, inflicting over 14,000 French casualties. Although there was a rebuff at Burgos later in the year, Wellington's forces were firmly on the march to victory in the Iberian Peninsula.

Brings to life this pivotal year in the Peninsular War and offers a fascinating insight into the strategy, the command decisions, and the experience of combat in 1812. 1 vol, 384 pgs 2013 UK, Pen and Sword

1-199950 Esdaile, Charles OUTPOST OF EMPIRE: The Napoleonic Occupation of Andalucia, 1810-1812 Napoleon's forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier of Napoleon's 'outer empire,' Andalucia remained under French control only briefly - for two-and-a-half years - and never experienced the normal functions of French rule. Esdaile moves beyond traditional military history to examine the French occupation of Andalucia and the origins and results of the region's complex and chaotic response.

Disillusioned by the Spanish provisional government and largely unprotected, Andalucia scarcely fired a shot in its defense when Joseph Bonaparte's army invaded the region in 1810. The subsequent French occupation, however, broke down in the face of multiple difficulties, the most important of which were geography and the continued presence in the region of substantial forces of regular troops. Drawing on British, French, and Spanish sources that are all but unknown, Esdaile describes the social, cultural, geographical, political, and military conditions that combined to make Andalucia particularly resistant to French rule.

Esdaile's study is a significant contribution to the new field sometimes known as occupation studies, which focuses on the ways a victorious army attempts to reconcile a conquered populace to the new political order. Combining military history with political and social history, Outpost of Empire delineates what we now call the cultural terrain of war. This is history that moves from battles between armies to battles for hearts and minds. 1 vol, 512 pgs 2012 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

Cover all the categories of units that were part of Napoleon's infantry: line regiments, light regiments, foreign corps, and special corps, including foreign units such as Irish Legion, Corsican light infantry, and mountain infantry. When the future Emperor assumed control of France, the infantry of his army was disorganized and poorly equipped; it lacked discipline and was trained in a quite old-fashioned way. Napoleon acted very rapidly to resolve the major problems of his foot troops, by giving them a new structure and by teaching them new tactics. By 1805, the French infantry was without a doubt the best in the world in terms of combat capabilities. includes 84 color illustrations, including some rare contemporary uniform plates that have never been published before. 1 vol, 160 pgs 2022 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-66690 Fernandez, Jose FUENTES de ONORO 1811 In 1810, Massena had followed the British-Portuguese army back to Lisbon before arriving at the Lines of Torres Vedras. He was determined against storming this extensive double line of interlocking fortifications. After starving outside Lisbon through a miserable winter, the French withdrew to the Spanish border with the British-Portuguese army in pursuit.

After Portugal was secured, Wellington set about re-taking the fortified frontier cities of Almeida, Badajoz and Ciudad Rodrigo. Whilst Wellington besieged Almeida, Massena reformed his battered army and marched to relieve the French garrison in the city. Wellington chose to check the relief attempt at the small village of Fuentes de Onoro.

Wellington left his line of retreat exposed in order to cover all routes to Almeida: he felt this risk was justified because the French would not have more than a few days supplies whereas he had more than that. The British and Portuguese army had 34,000 infantry, 1,850 cavalry, and 48 guns. The French had 42,000 infantry, 4,500 cavalry and 38 guns. 1 vol, 110 pgs 2012 ITALY

1-215900 Field, Andrew WATERLOO ROUT & RETREAT: The French Perspective Fourth volume in series depicts the often neglected final phase - the rout and retreat of Napoleon's army. The text is based exclusively on French eyewitness accounts, which give an inside view of the immediate aftermath of the battle and carry the story through to the army's disbandment in late 1815.

Many French officers and soldiers wrote more about the retreat than they did about the catastrophe of Waterloo itself. Their recollections give a fascinating insight to the psyche of the French soldier. They also provide a first-hand record of their experiences and the range of their reactions, from those who deserted the colors and made their way home, to those who continued to serve faithfully when all was lost. Napoleon's own flight from Waterloo is an essential part of the narrative, but the main emphasis is on the fate of the beaten French army as it was experienced by eyewitnesses who lived through the last days of the campaign. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, PEN & SWORD

Grouchy's extensive description of his operations forms the backbone of the narrative, supplemented by other French sources and those of Prussian eyewitnesses.

1-223820 Field, Andrew The French at Waterloo: Eyewitness Accounts - Napoleon, Imperial Headquarters and 1st Corps Andrew Field, who has published four best-selling books on the Battle of Waterloo, has established himself as one of the leading experts on the French perspective of the campaign. Using selected extracts from French eyewitness accounts that haven't been published before in English, he has added a new dimension to our understanding of what happened on the battlefield on 18 June 1815. Now he takes his pioneering work a step further by publishing these accounts, with all their vivid and personal detail, in full.

For the first time readers will be in a position to make their own interpretations of them and compare them to the recollections of soldiers from the allied armies, in particular the British, which have largely determined our assumptions about the battle for the last 200 years. They will also gain a heightened insight into the trauma that the French eyewitnesses went through as they tried to explain how the French lost a battle they claim they had been on the point of winning.

This, the first of two volumes of the French accounts, features Napoleon's own description of the battle, those of his immediate household and the Imperial headquarters, and those of members of 1st Corps. Napoleon's own version of events, one of the first to be published in France, was used as the basis of many subsequent histories that ignore or gloss over his many dubious claims. His account of his actions and his view of what happened on that decisive day, and those of his close associates, make fascinating reading.

1-240180 Field, Andrew THE LIFE OF A GENERAL IN NAPOLEON'S LIGHT CAVALRY: The Memoirs of Jean-Nicolas Curely English translation of the memoir of Jean-Nicolas Curely. Born in 1774, son of a laborer, Curely rose through the ranks to become a General in Napoleon's Light Cavalry. He was a hussar at 19 years old, second lieutenant at 32, squadron commander at 35, Colonel at 38 and General at 40. He became Cavalier of the Legion d'Honneur in 1806, and was wounded five times in his career.

His memoir reflects the role of the light cavalry; scouting ahead of the army, conducting reconnaissance to the flanks and launching raids. He took part in all Napoleon's great campaigns, including Austerlitz, Heilsberg, Essling, Raab, Wagram, Moscow, Beresina, Wachau, Leipzig, Craonne, and Laon, and served as an aide de camp to many of the French army's most famous light cavalry generals. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD

Drawing on French eyewitness recollections and later commentary, he reconstructs the French experience of the battle - and the French interpretation of it.

1-LEG2101 Gale, Tim Decisive Victory 1918: Volume 1 - Soissons Game scale
Unit size: Regiment/Division
Game Turn: 6 Hour Day/ 12 Hour Night
Map Scale: 1 Kilometer per hex
The Battle of Soissons, 18 July to 28 July, 1918, was the first time that the French army used a large-scale attack with tanks supported by a surprise (i.e. not pre-registered) artillery bombardment, similar to the British attack the previous year at Cambrai, and it was the first time that full-size US divisions went on the offensive incorporated in the French army. But most importantly, it was the opening of the Second Battle of the Marne. It not known at the time, although suspected by many, that this battle was the death-knell of the German army.

The game features mandatory attacks into multiple hexes, very rigid ZOC, and severe restrictions on disengagement and advance after combat. 'Threat zones' extend beyond the standard 1-hex ZOCs and represent limited knowledge of the enemy's positions, thus preventing unrealistic infiltration through narrow gaps in the frontline.

The Combat system is highly attritional, in terms of casualties and cohesion disruption. Reorganization is a slow process, conducted under the cover of the night. Attacking units rapidly deplete their offensive power. Defending units, on the other hand, are never completely eliminated, and retain (as 'remnants') indefinite residual defensive power. Defensive initiative superiority also translates into special 'fall back' movement, which allows defenders to extricate themselves from dangerously outflanked positions and avoid encirclement.

2-30510 Gallaher, John G. NAPOLEON'S IRISH LEGIONS Drawing heavily on the original documents of the Archives de la guerre, John G. Gallaher has written the first complete account of the storied Irish Legion, which joined with Napoleon to fight England.

Following the failed Rebellion of 1798, hundreds of Irishmen fled to the Continent to avoid imprisonment or execution. As part of his planned campaign against England and Ireland in 1803, Napoleon authorized the creation of an Irish Legion to invade Ireland in order to tie down British forces that could otherwise have been used against the main French invasion of England. The promise of returning to Ireland with the French army at their backs brought many recruits to the Legion. The Irish emigrants who enlisted in this special unit of the French army were Irish nationalists who intended to liberate Ireland and create an Irish republic.

When the anticipated expedition to Ireland never took place, some of the Irishmen quit the army though the great majority of them remained to fight for Napoleon. Battalions of the Legion encountered the British at Flushing in 1809, fought Wellington in Portugal in 1810-11, and served with distinction at the Battle of Bautzen and in Silesia, where after heavy losses in lesser engagements with the enemy, the Legion was finally destroyed on the banks of the Bober River in 1813.

1-223800 Gill, John The Battle of Znaim - Napoleon, The Habsburgs and the end of the War of 1809 The little known Battle of Znaim (10th-11th July 1809) was the last battle to be fought on the main front of the Franco-Austrian War. Cut short to make way for an armistice it effectively ended hostilities between France and Austria and is now uniquely considered to be an episode both of conflict and simultaneously of diplomacy.

The battle began as a result of the Austrian decision to stage a rearguard action near Znaim, prompting the Bavarians to unsuccessfully storm a nearby town. Battle ensued with the village changing hands a number of times over the course of the two days.

Jack Gill delves deep into the respective tactics of both sides as the two armies continually changed positions and strategies.

2-88591 Gill, John H. THUNDER ON THE DANUBE: V1 Napoleon's Defeat of Austria The Franco-Austrian War of 1809 was Napoleon's last victorious war. Napoleon faced the Archduke Charles, the best of the Habsburg commanders, and a reformed Austrian Army that was arguably the best ever fielded by the Danubian Monarchy. The French ultimately triumphed but the margin of superiority was decreasing and all of Napoleon's skill and determination was required to achieve a victorious outcome.

Gill tackles the political background to the war, especially the motivations that prompted Austria to launch an offensive against France while Napoleon and many of his veterans were distracted in Spain. Though surprised by the timing of the Austrian attack on April 10th, the French Emperor completely reversed a dire strategic situation with stunning blows that he called his 'most brilliant and most skillful maneuvers'. Following a breathless pursuit down the Danube valley, Napoleon occupied the palaces of the Habsburgs for the second time in four years. The Austrians recovered, however, and Napoleon suffered his first unequivocal repulse at the Battle of Aspern-Essling on the shores of the Danube opposite Vienna.

He would win many battles in his future campaigns, but never again would one of Europe's great powers lie broken at his feet.

In this respect 1809 represents a high point of the First Empire as well as a watershed, for Napoleon's armies were declining in quality and he was beginning to display the corrosive flaws that contributed to his downfall five years later.

2-88592 Gill, John H. THUNDER ON THE DANUBE:V2 Napoleon's Defeat of Austria In the second volume of this epic work, John H. Gill traces Napoleon's progress as he sought to complete his victory over the Habsburgs. The war had erupted on April 10th with Austria's invasion of Germany and Italy. After just two weeks, Napoleon had battered the Habsburg Archduke Charles in a series of bruising defeats.

This volume begins with Napoleon astride the Danube at Regensburg. He faced a critical strategic choice - whether to pursue the injured Austrian main army into Bohemia or march directly for Vienna, the seat of Habsburg power.

After electing to target Vienna, his troops defeated the Austrians in the brutal Battle of Ebelsberg, allowing him to enter the city on May 13th. However on the far side of the Danube, he then suffered a dramatic loss at the grueling, two-day Battle of Aspern. While his Danube forces recovered from this setback, the Emperor cleared trouble from his strategic flanks.

Gill describes in vivid detail the hopeful Habsburg invasion of Italy, led by the 27-year-old Archduke Johann, and the fierce French counter-offensive under Napoleon's stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais (also aged 27). In a series of encounters across Italy, de Beauharnais rebounded from initial defeat to advance triumphantly into Austrian territory, shattering and scattering Johann's army. In the wake of Aspern, while the Austrians vacillated, Napoleon gathered every man, horse and gun around Vienna, setting the stage for the gigantic spectacle of the Battle of Wagram, the final chapter in the story of the 1809 war.

2-88593 Gill, John H. THUNDER ON THE DANUBE: V3Napoleon's Defeat of Austria With this third volume John Gill brings to a close his magisterial study of the war between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria. The account begins with both armies recuperating on the banks of the Danube. As they rest, important action was taking place elsewhere: Eugene won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowski's Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna. These campaigns set the stage for the titanic Battle of Wagram.

Second only in scale to the slaughter at Leipzig in 1813, Wagram saw more than 320,000 men and 900 guns locked in two days of fury that ended with an Austrian retreat. The defeat, however, was not complete: Napoleon had to force another engagement before Charles would accept a ceasefire. The battle at Znaim, its true importance often not acknowledged, brought an extended armistice that ended with a peace treaty signed in Vienna.

Gill uses an impressive array of sources in an engaging narrative covering both the politics of emperors and the privations and hardship common soldiers suffered in battle. Enriched with unique illustrations, forty maps, and extraordinary order-of-battle detail, this work concludes an unrivalled English-language study of Napoleon's last victory.

1-242040 Gimenez, J J Herrero THE PENINSULAR WAR: The Spanish Perspective British historians often relegated Spanish contributions to victory over the Napoleonic French in the Peninsular War to a minor role. Here, a Spanish historian offers a different analysis of Spanish defeats and victories and the logistical and political difficulties faced by the Spaniards. Examines great battles such as Tudela, Ocana, and Bailen as well as sieges such as Zaragoza while also covering the guerrilla warfare in which ordinary citizens took up arms, attacking isolated French outposts and capturing enemy messengers and patrols. As the war progressed, the Spanish armies became strong enough to win several battles, contributing decisively to the defeat of Napoleon in conjunction with the magnificent achievements of Sir Arthur Wellesley and his Anglo-Portuguese army.

1-208280 Glover G editor THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SIR HENRY CLINTON IN THE WATERLOO CAMPAIGN - VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 2: Preparation for Waterloo (August 1814 - April 1815) This set contains Volume One and Volume Two.

This revealing and remarkable study came out of the blue when Gareth Glover discovered that the Clinton papers were held in two libraries on both sides of the Atlantic and that they ran to many thousand un-researched documents. It has been a labor of years of work to collate the documents and effectively edit them into one narrative.

Why is this so important? Clinton's meticulous diary and reports provide the essentially research into the small British-Hanoverian army that served as a defense force for the newly liberated Netherlands under the command of the hereditary Prince of Orange in August 1814. He performed the role of Inspecting Officer for all the troops in Belgium including the fledgling Belgian and Dutch units and is a vital witness to the quality and training of all of these troops and to the massive repair program to the main border fortresses in the run up to the Waterloo campaign.

With Napoleon's return to power and the mobilization of the army for war once again, Henry Clinton was then appointed by the Duke of Wellington to command the Second Division, consisting of Adam's British Light Infantry Brigade, Du Plat's Brigade of King's German Legion troops and Halkett's Brigade of Hanoverian troops, a very diverse group with varying degrees of experience, equipment and training. His correspondence most importantly is written contemporaneously and gives honest assessments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of all of these troops and is both enlightening and often surprising.

The second volume deals with the final preparations for war, including the arrival of the Duke of Wellington. The operations, particularly of the Second Division during the whirlwind campaign of Waterloo and the consequent march to Paris are described in great detail as are the details of the Army of Occupation which lasted until 1818, concluding with their embarkation.

As well as his correspondence, Henry Clinton also kept a personal diary that was completed each evening. All of this various material has been put into date order and each day's diary entry precedes the correspondence for the day (inserted by date of writing rather than of receipt) and the letters have been put in sequential order wherever it is possible or a time of day is indicated. The appendix gives extracts recorded by an officer in Adam's Brigade of his Brigade orders that dovetail with the correspondence between Sir Henry Clinton and his brigade. 2 vol, 560 pgs 2015 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN

The fighting was largely fought in wooded areas in hilly terrain, difficult of access, often only reachable by boat along the rivers and Great lakes, but it was also a war fought at close quarters and often with great savagery, and not just by the Indians. 1 vol, 70 pgs 2017 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN

1-214430 Glover G. editor THE PENINSULAR WAR JOURNAL OF SERGEANT SAMUEL HARRISON OF THE 43RD (MONMOUTHSHIRE) REGIMENT OF FOOT, 1796-1812 Harrison joined the 43rd Foot as a Sergeant. We know that he proceeded with the regiment to the Peninsula and that he fought at the battles of Vimiero, Corunna, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Pyrenees, and San Sebastian. He eventually received a General Service Medal in 1848.

Only the first volume of his original journal, giving his service to 1812, has so far been discovered. This was written by another hand who combines his memoir with a general history of the war based on Napier. Harrison's many years in the Militia, the retreat to Corunna, his time at Walcheren, and his part in the storming of a redoubt at Ciudad Rodrigo are all clearly his own (unvarnished) words. But he also clearly had no recourse to any form of notes and therefore his memory fails him sometimes as to particular persons or dates of occurrences. But for all that, there are glimpses of a soldier who fought for many years in the wars against Napoleon and they still deserve to be preserved. 1 vol, 112 pgs 2017 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN

Crowe does not pull his punches: he censures officers both junior and senior; he talks openly of the ravages of war, and the pillaging, raping and looting; the horrors of war, describing the deaths and horrific wounds of many in lurid detail, the cowardice and stupidity; and he also describes the mundane in detail - nothing is passed over.

1-213580 Glover, Gareth THE AMERICAN SHARPE: The Adventures of an American Officer of the 95th Rifles in the Peninsular and Waterloo Campaigns Sharpe and his adventures has made the 95th Foot renowned again and the discovery of an unpublished diary by an American from Charleston South Carolina who served, despite his father's objections, as an officer in this elite regiment has caused great excitement. Includes 16 high quality color prints.

James Penman Gairdner was born in Charleston, SC, but he was sent back to the 'Old Country' for his education, receiving his schooling at Harrow. After school, rather than joining his father's merchant business, he decided to become a soldier and received a commission in the famous 95th Rifles.

He subsequently served, without a break, from the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812 until the end of the war in 1814. He then fought in the Waterloo campaign and formed part of the Army of Occupation. He was wounded on three occasions.

Throughout his service he kept a journal, which he managed to maintain on almost a daily basis. This journal, along with a number of letters that he wrote to his family are presented for the first time.

Readers will not find dramatic stories of great battles or adventurous escapades. Instead, Gairdner, details the everyday life of one of Wellington's soldiers; one of marches and billets, of the weather, the places, and the people of the Iberian Peninsula and of Paris and Occupied France - the real nature of soldering.

His diaries also highlight the very strange relationship between these newly independent Americans and the 'Old Country' they had so recently fought with; which even allowed for a true American boy to fight in the British Army, but not in America! 1 vol, 272 pgs 2017 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-215930 Glover, Gareth A SCOTS GREY AT WATERLOO: The Remarkable Story of Sergeant William Clarke William Clarke of Prestonpans, Scotland, joined the 2nd Royal North British Dragoons, the Scots Greys, in 1803. Clarke had risen to the rank of sergeant by the time the regiment was ordered to Belgium on the news that Napoleon had escaped from Elba. Forming part of what became known as the 'Union' Brigade, the Scots Greys played a key role in Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

The John Rylands Library, Manchester, recently acquired William Clarke's 600-page, handwritten memoir describing his enlistment and military career, the highlight of which was the Waterloo campaign, which he describes in unusual detail in the vernacular of the day, presented and annotated by the renowned historian Garth Glover.

Follow the movements of the Scots Greys throughout the three days from Quatre-Bras to that climatic encounter on the Mont St Jean. Clarke naturally portrays the charge of the Union Brigade in dramatic and heroic terms, but he claims that the man who led the charge, Major General William Ponsonby, was killed by a musket ball and not cut down by French cavalry, as is usually stated, for recklessly charging too far.

After the battle, Clarke was part of the Burial Party. He then graphically describes the sad scene as he does the trail of the defeated French army as the pursuing Prussians cut a merciless path on their way to Paris. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-225270 Glover, Gareth Waterloo: Myth and Reality More has probably been written about the Waterloo campaign than almost any other in history. It was the climax of the Napoleonic Wars and forms a watershed in both European and world history. However, the lethal combination of national bias, willful distortion, and simple error has unfortunately led to the constantly regurgitated traditional 'accepted' version being significantly wrong regarding many episodes in the campaign. Oft-repeated claims have morphed into established fact and, with the bicentenary of this famous battle soon to be commemorated, it is high time that these are challenged and finally dismissed.

Gareth Glover has spent a decade uncovering hundreds of previously unpublished eyewitness accounts of the battle and campaign, which have highlighted many of these myths and errors. In this groundbreaking history, based on extensive primary research of all the nations involved, he provides a very readable and beautifully balanced account of the entire campaign while challenging these distorted claims and myths, and he provides clear evidence to back his version of events. His thoughtful reassessment of this decisive episode in world history will be stimulating reading for those already familiar with the Napoleonic period and it will form a fascinating introduction for readers who are discovering this extraordinary event for the first time. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2020 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-229230 Glover, Gareth MARCHING, FIGHTING, DYING: Experiences of Soldiers in the Peninsular War Explores the everyday experience of British troops during the Napoleonic War in the Peninsular using excerpts from their letters. Only extracts from letters written during the campaigns are quoted - journals written much later for publication are discounted - so a true picture of life in the army at war comes out directly, as it was perceived at the time. Every aspect of the soldiers' experience is covered, from the fatigue and discomfort of existence on military service to the reality of combat and their feelings when a comrade was wounded or killed. The letters reveal so much about their attitude to the enemy, civilians and the men who served alongside them. Since this was the first war in history where regular postal services operated - and since a rising number of soldiers were able to read and write - their letters offer us an insight into men at war that has never been recorded before. 1 vol, 344 pgs 2021 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-236070 Glover, Gareth THE REDCOATS OF WELLINGTON'S LIGHT DIVISION IN THE PENINSULAR WAR: Unpublished and Rare Memoirs of the 52nd Regiment of Foot This collection of short memoirs from soldiers of the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment has never been published before and one previously published, but now virtually unobtainable. This collection will undoubtedly add an essential element to our understanding of the role of the Light Division both in battle and on campaign during the Napoleonic wars.

The Light Division is rightly regarded as the most famous force within Wellington's army in the Peninsular War. Often the first into every battle and the last to withdraw, the men of the Light Division were trained to act independently and think for themselves as well as operating in their battalion formations.

The regiments which comprised the Light Division were present at almost every battle, large or small, throughout the Peninsular War. Many people, however, associate the Light Division with the men of the 95th Rifles, wearing in the distinctive green uniforms made famous in the Sharpe novels.

What is less understood is that the majority of the Light Division actually consisted of troops dressed in the traditional red uniforms. These were men who, although equally capable of skirmishing as light infantry, actually spent the vast majority of their time formed as regular infantry, fighting in line, column or square. The 52nd Foot was the first of the regiments of the Light Division to be trained as light infantry. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD

Written with vivid detail, these journals offer a truly unique window into the life of a commissary and the campaigns in which he served.

He also talks freely about fellow officers, and being a private journal written simply for the eyes of his immediate family, he is not shy in giving his honest opinions of both his subordinates or indeed his superiors. 1 vol, 288 pgs 2024 UK, PEN & SWORD

These often portray a very different view of many famous events and cause us to question numerous claims made in those later published memoirs.

Never intended to be published, the memoirs in this book were written only for the men themselves and their families, being penned without the dreaded influence of 'hindsight' to alter and temper their views. Consequently, they provide brutally honest assessments of their senior officers, how operations were handled and who made mistakes that have subsequently been quietly covered over. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2022 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-218810 Glover, Gareth and Morrisson, Paul editors A NEW SYSTEM OF CAVALRY SWORDSMANSHIP: Lt Col Charles Edward Radclyffe 1st Royal Dragoons Transcription of the original manuscript of 1818 with historical notes on the author, plus a complete facsimile of the original notebook printed in color, including the 15 original sketches by the author. This manuscript about cavalry sword exercise proves the change in sword tactics at the end of the Peninsular War and Waterloo, when the use of the cavalry sword went from slashing instrument to a stabbing one (hence the evidence of heavy cavalry grinding their swords to a point before battle).

Radclyffe served with the Royal Dragoons in the Peninsula from 1809 to 1814. He also served with distinction during the Waterloo Campaign. During his distinguished service, he reported upon necessary changes to sword tactics, resulting in this vitally important study. No printed copies of it have been recorded until now. Because of its importance and charm we have reproduced the original work in straight facsimile but also reset it for easier reading. A biography and letters from the Waterloo campaign are also included. 1 vol, 114 pgs 2018 CAMBRIDGE, KEN TROTMAN

Between the three brothers, they participated in almost every action in the six-year war and two of them participated in the Army of Occupation in France from 1815-18, although none were at the Battle of Waterloo. All three survived the war, but were all badly maimed. Contains 16 mono illustrations.

Their close relationships with many senior officers of the period give a rare glimpse into the thinking of the generals and helps us understand how information was gathered and decisions were made.

1-209310 Glover, Gateth WATERLOO: The Defeat of Napoleon's Imperial Guard - Henry Clinton, the 2nd Division and the End of a 200-year-old Controversy This is the most detailed account of the 2nd Division at Waterloo ever published. It is based on the papers of its commander Sir Henry Clinton and it reveals for the first time the previously unrecognized vital role this division made in the defeat of Napoleon. It explains how the division was placed ahead of the main allied squares thus impeding the charges of the French cavalry, and how the 2nd Division supported the defense of Hougoumont, considered by the Duke of Wellington as the key to his victory on 18 June 1815.

Perhaps the most significant aspect of this book is the description of the defeat of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Just who and how the incomparable Guard was stopped and then driven from the battlefield is explained in detail. Once and for all, this 200-year controversy is finally resolved. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2015 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

One of the most significant studies of the 1812 campaign is also one of the rarest. There was no love lost between Baron Gourgaud & Philip De Segur.

Incensed by inaccuracies in De Segur's famous memoir of the 1812 campaign, Gourgaud wrote this critical reply, analysing the book page by page and providing a hugely valuable & detailed critique based on his own experiences. The spat between the two ended in a duel in which De Segur was wounded. As an appendix to the work are listed the general orders for the campaign.

In May 1813 Wellington bade farewell to Portugal and the Allied army marched into Spain. Wellington's advance continuously outflanked the French Army of King Joseph and Marshal Jordan, causing them to fall back to the east. On 21 June 1813, the French made a stand at Vittoria. In a bold and imaginative attack Wellington launched the Allies at the French, turning both flanks of the enemy.

By evening Wellington had achieved a resounding victory and the French were in rout. The destruction of the French army was only prevented by a night of plundering as the Allies fell on the baggage of the French army bearing the loot of Spain. A month later Marshal Soult, who had replaced Joseph and Jordan, launched a counter attack with a reorganized French army. After driving the Allies back through the Pyrenees passes at Maya and Roncesvalles the French were defeated by Wellington at Sorauren and retreated back into France.

On 31 August San Sebastian was stormed and the French garrison finally surrendered on 8 September. Wellington was poised to invade France. 1 vol, 192 pgs 2018 UK, PARTIZAN PRESS

1-198040 Grant, Charles S WELLINGTON 1812 - The Sieges of Cuidad Rodrigo, Badajoz & Burgos and the Battle of Salamanca Well illustrated throughout with almost 30 Bob Marrion color uniform plates.

The early months of 1812 saw Wellington successfully besiege and storm both Cuidad Rodrigo and Badajoz securing his lines of communication and opening up the route into Spain. Immediately facing him was Marmont's Army of Portugal. After a series of maneuvers, on 22 July Wellington saw his chance and in one of his most famous and brilliant battles he routed the French army at Salamanca. At the end of the month he entered Madrid.

He now decided to follow Marmont's Army but the fortified castle at Burgos would not fall and as news of the movements of other French armies reached him, Wellington decided to withdraw. Falling back to Salamanca and with several French armies coming together he was forced to continue the withdrawal and finished the year back where he had started -- the Portuguese border.

The year that had started so promisingly for the Allies with the storming of Cuidad Rodrigo and Badajoz and the crushing defeat of the French at Salamanca, had gone on to witness the frustration at Burgos and the retreat back almost to Portugal with the breakdown of discipline, at least in parts of the Allied army.

Balanced against this, Wellington's maneuvers had dominated much of Spain with an army that was probably no more than a quarter of the number of French soldiers in the theater of operations. Wellington had not been defeated in battle and his casualties were minimal compared with those of his enemy. Perhaps more significantly the French morale had been shattered by the Allied victory of Salamanca and they would not fight with their old confidence again. 1 vol, 152 pgs 2013 UK, PARTIZAN PRESS

1-219590 Griffith, Robert RIFLEMEN: The History of the 5th Battalion, 60th (Royal American) Regiment - 1797-1818 The 5th Battalion of the 60th (Royal American) Regiment was the first rifle battalion in the regular British Army. Raised in 1797, it marked a significant step in the development of British light infantry and rifle corps. Lieutenant Colonel Francis de Rottenburg, the battalion's commander for almost 10 years, formulated the first British Army light infantry manual. Includes 11 color illustrations, 41 black and white illustrations, 36 black and white maps, 5 tables, and 3 figures.

After serving in Ireland during the 1798 rebellion, in the West Indies, and in the Americas, the battalion rose to fame during the Peninsular War. It was one of only three battalions to be present from the initial landings in Portugal through to the invasion of France, and victory six years later. Divided between the brigades of Wellington's army to provide specialist rifle and skirmishing capability, the riflemen often formed advance or rear guards, patrols and outposts. Frequently praised by Wellington and his divisional commanders, the battalion won 16 battle honors.

Drawing on official records, memoirs, court martial transcripts, inspection reports, and unpublished letters, Riflemen recounts not only the campaigns in which the battalion fought, but also many personal stories of the soldiers who served with it. Riflemen includes tales of murder, promotion from the ranks, desertion, prisoners of war, and small actions that are often overlooked. 1 vol, 464 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-227190 Griffithm Robert AT THE POINT OF THE BAYONET: The Peninsular War Battles of Arroyomolinos and Almaraz 1811-1812 Rowland Hill was one of the Duke of Wellington's most trusted subordinates, known for caring deeply for the welfare of his men, but the battles of Arroyomolinos (1811) and Almaraz (1812) show that he was far more than just 'Daddy Hill' and a safe pair of hands. He was also a general of considerable skill and daring.

At Arroyomolinos he led his troops for days through appalling weather to outmaneuver and then decimate an entire French division in a perfectly conceived surprise attack. At Almaraz, he advanced far from allied lines to capture and then destroy a vital French bridge, overcoming considerable logistical challenges and substantial defenses, and paving the way for Wellington's victory at Salamanca. Includes 58 photos & illustrations, eight pages of color plates, and nine maps.

For both actions, Hill used the same two British infantry brigades as well as Portuguese and Spanish units. The relatively small numbers of units involved has enabled the author to give greater focus on the individual regiments and the men who served in them than is often the case with larger battles. He uses memoirs, previously unpublished letters, and official returns and reports to paint a very detailed picture of two small but important battles of the Peninsular War and the men that fought them.

1-970016 Griffon de Pleineville, Natalia; illust by Florent Vincent CHICLANA-BARROSA - 5 March 1811, The Eagles in Andalusia FORGOTTEN BATTLES series: February 1811. Marshal Victor had besieged the Spanish city of Cadiz for a year. Generals Manuel de Lapena and Thomas Graham, at the head of Spanish and British troops, disembarked at Algeciras and at Tarifa and led their men towards Chiclana in order to attack the French lines from the rear. On 5 March, the opposing armies ran into each other on ground overlooked by the Bermeja and the Barrosa towers; the latter giving its name to the battle.

The French troops commanded by Generals Villatte, Leval, and Ruffin fell back before the Allied army. The fighting was fierce and the 8e Regiment of the Line lost its golden wreathed Eagle. Using French, Spanish and British sources and archives, drawing on numerous eyewitness accounts, the author captures the views of both sides of the conflict and provides a new and objective narrative in fascinating detail of this long-forgotten and little-known battle of the Peninsular War. 60 b/w & color illust & maps etc. 1 vol, 112 pgs 2012 FRANCE, HISTORIC ONE EDITIONS

1-235630 Guillemot, Pierre-Baptiste THE GARDE NATIONALE 1789-1815: France's Forgotten Armed Forces In mid-July 1789, after the storming of the Bastille, the municipality of Paris organized a Garde Nationale, heir to the militias of the Ancien Regime. Provinces quickly formed identical militias, which intervened in the troubles of the municipal revolution. Bringing citizens together, the Garde Nationale became one of the most important players of the French Revolution.

Organized on a military model, it nevertheless remained a civilian force whose members, who elected their officers, were often armed and equipped with odds and ends by the municipalities. Responsible for ensuring order, they performed their service despite their professional activity and family life.

The Garde Nationale remains one of the most misunderstood institutions of the French Revolution and the First Empire. It does not lend itself well to synthesis, and occupies a minor place in the work of historians. Based on contemporary documents - in particular on previously little-used archives - this book analyses the successive organizations of the Garde Nationale in Paris and in the provinces, the evolution of its strength, but also its place in relation to the army, not to mention the recurrent hesitations between the two conceptions of the institution: a national force with a broad recruitment or a local and bourgeois militia. Lavishly illustrated with largely unpublished iconography and original artwork, the book also looks at the uniforms and equipment of the Garde Nationale. 1 vol, 364 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

Young George Murray, born into a long established Perthshire family with both Jacobite and Hanoverian loyalties, would soon see action in the campaigns against Revolutionary France and Napoleon Bonaparte after obtaining his commission into 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards (the Scots Guards) in 1790. Murray served with distinction in the Low Countries, which were seen as essential to safeguarding Britain's trade links and in Ireland, where the constant threat of insurrection and invasion required a huge garrison. He accompanied General Abercromby to remove the French from Egypt, where Murray was in the first wave of the landing force at Aboukir, one of the great British military successes.

Becoming one of the new 'Scientific' officers, Murray was the brains behind the plans to take a number of West Indian islands from the French, before settling into his career in the Quartermaster General's department. He made a name for himself in the controversial bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807, which resulted in the capture of the entire Danish fleet, the first operation in which Murray and Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) fought together. 1 vol, 408 pgs 2018 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-196710 Henderson, James Frigates, Sloops & Brigs Originally published in two volumes, this book is a bargain for all who want the factual low-down on Nelson's navy.

Admiral Nelson's most frequent cry was for more frigates. Though not ships of the line these fast and powerful warships were the 'eyes of the fleet'. They enabled admirals to find where the enemy lay and his likely intentions, as well as patrolling vital trade routes and providing information from far-flung colonies. Together with their smaller cousins, the sloops and brigs of the Royal Navy, they performed a vital function.

Generally commanded by ambitious young men, these were the ships that could capture enemy prizes and earn their officers and men enough prize-money to set them up for life. The fictional characters Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey hardly surpassed some of the extraordinary deeds of derring-do and tragedy described in these pages.

1-224000 Heuvel, Sean From Across the Sea - North Americans in Nelson's Navy From Across the Sea: North Americans in Nelson's Navy explores the varied contributions of North Americans to the Royal Navy during Great Britain's wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. It is the first book that explores this topic in depth. As an edited compilation, top specialists in the field have contributed thematic essays (on topics ranging from impressment to the Anglo-American maritime relationship) as well as biographical essays on a range of North Americans from both the officer ranks and the lower deck. For the biographical portraits, special attention has been paid to individuals who have not already been the subject of extensive research and writing. Accompanying these essays are several never-before-published illustrations depicting some of the key North Americans as well as the ships and naval battles in which they were a part.

The book's central focus is to challenge the common assumption that the Nelsonic-era Royal Navy was manned exclusively by British sailors and officers. Instead, Royal Navy personnel from this era often hailed from different parts of the world, with North Americans comprising a particularly significant contingent. For instance, Nelson's fleet at Trafalgar had hundreds of Americans as well as Canadians, not to mention individuals from the Caribbean. Thus, From Across the Sea sheds new light on these sailors and officers, showcasing years of original, primary source research on the subject.

The book also challenges the misconception that all North American-born sailors who served in the Royal Navy were pressed into service. Instead, a significant number volunteered for service of their own free will, lured into the Royal Navy by visions of adventure and prize money. Others volunteered more reluctantly, figuring that joining the Royal Navy on their own terms was preferable to being forced in by a press gang. Thus, From Across the Sea reveals that impressment was a more complicated topic than most generally assume.

Over all, From Across the Sea concludes that North Americans played an integral role in the Royal Navy during the Wars with France, from the lower deck all the way to the highest levels of command. While some of these North Americans operated in relative obscurity, others achieved high rank and formed lasting friendships with some of Great Britain's foremost naval leaders of the age, including Lord Nelson and King William IV. Theirs is a story that needs to be told, and now it has been told for the first time through From Across the Sea.

1-192340 Hofschroer, Peter translator, editor On Wellington A Critique of Waterloo By Carl von Clausewitz Clausewitz, the Western world's most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington's actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a lying work. The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington's private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschroer brings Clausewitz's critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation

Peter Hofschroer, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account's publication during his lifetime-a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz's work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz's critique, Hofschroer also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.

The 36th Regiment formed part of the reinforcements under Craufurd which arrived at Montevideo on June 14th 1807.

After hanging on grimly for what must have seemed like an age, Lumley led his men to the Plaza de Toros.

After an initial success, the expedition stalled and as the lethargic military commander, Lord Chatham, was at loggerheads with the opinionated senior naval commander, Sir Richard Strachan, troops were dying of a mysterious disease termed 'Walcheren fever.' Almost all the campaign's 4,000 dead were victims of disease.

The Scheldt was evacuated and the return home was followed by a scandalous Parliamentary Inquiry. Walcheren fever cast an even longer shadow. Six months later 11,000 men were still registered sick. In 1812, Wellington complained that the constitution of his troops was 'much shaken with Walcheren.' Includes 16 pages of b/w plates 1 vol, 224 pgs 2012 UK, Pen & Sword

Rich in sugar, cotton, coffee, and slaves, the region was a key to British prosperity and it was perhaps even more important to her greatest enemy - France. Yet, until now, the history of this vital theater of the Napoleonic Wars has been seriously neglected. Focuses on the human experience of the men - the climate and living conditions, the rations and diet, military discipline and training, the treatment of the wounded, and the impact of disease. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2015 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-203990 Hughes, Ben THE BRITISH INVASION OF THE RIVER PLATE: 1806-1807 -- How the Redcoats Were Humbled and a Nation Was Born In 1806 a British expeditionary force captured Buenos Aires and Britain was sucked into a costly campaign on the far side of the world. The Spaniards were humbled on the battlefield, Montevideo was taken by storm, but the campaign ended in disaster for the British when 6000 redcoats and riflemen surrendered following a bloody battle fought in the streets of the Argentine capital.

So ended one of the most humiliating - and neglected - episodes of the entire Napoleonic Wars for the British army. In The British Invasion of the River Plate Ben Hughes tells the story of this forgotten war in graphic detail. His account is based on research carried out across two continents, and it draws on contemporary newspaper reports, official documents and the memoirs, letters and journals of the men who were there.

1-222300 Humble, Richard NAPOLEON'S ADMIRALS: Flag Officers of the Arc de Triomphe, 1789-1815 On the four sides of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, serried tablets display the names of 660 honored commanders of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Most are those of generals and marshals of the French Army - but 26 of them are those of admirals -- commanders of the fleets of Republican and Napoleonic France.

This appraisal of the Anglo-French naval war of 1793-1814 presents not only their individual stories, but explodes myths. For example, the aristocratic officers of the French Navy did not emigrate en masse when the Revolution came, leaving the Navy leaderless and doomed to repeated defeats at sea. These former King's officers stayed, and loyally tried to serve their country as the Revolution pursued its wasteful and unpredictable course. Three of them paid for their loyalty under the guillotine.

Of the 26 'Admirals of the Arc,' 23 had learned their trade in the French royal and merchant navies of the ancien regime. Republican France could call on a wide range of seasoned combat veterans from the American Revolutionary War (1778-83), whose stories are a revelation in themselves. 1 vol, 270 pgs 2019 US, CASEMATE

1-214741 Hussey, John WATERLOO: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1815: Volume I: From Elba to Ligny and Quatre Bras The first of two groundbreaking volumes on the Waterloo campaign, this book is based upon a detailed analysis of sources old and new in four languages. It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, and their resolution; it studies the problems of feeding and paying for 250,000 Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the 'undeclared war', and how a strategy was thrashed out. Includes 16 pages of plates.

It studies the neglected topic of how the slow and discordant Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blucher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleon's operational plan is analyzed (and Soult's mistakes in executing it). Accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June, and the volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day. 1 vol, 736 pgs 2017 UK, GREENHILL BOOKS

1-214742 Hussey, John WATERLOO: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1815: Volume II: From Waterloo to the Restoration of Peace in Europe The concluding volume of this work provides a fresh description of the climatic battle of Waterloo placed in the context of the whole campaign. It discusses several vexed questions: Blucher's intentions for the battle, Wellington's choice of site, his reasons for placing substantial forces at Hal, the placement of Napoleon's artillery, who authorized the French cavalry attacks, Grouchy's role on 18 and 19 June, Napoleon's own statements on the Garde's formation in the final attack, and the climactic moment when the Prussians reached Wellington's troops near la Belle Alliance.

Close attention is paid to the negotiations that led to the capitulation of Paris, and subsequent French claims. The allegations of Las Cases and later historians that Napoleon's surrender to Captain Maitland of the Bellerophon amounted to entrapment are also examined. After a survey of the peace settlement of 1815, the book concludes with a masterly chapter reviewing the whole story of the 1815 campaign. 1 vol, 352 pgs 2017 UK, GREENHILL BOOKS

1-237611 Kim, Yuhan TO CONQUER AND KEEP: Suchet and the War for Eastern Spain, 1809-1814Volume 1 - 1809-1811 Examines French Marshal Suchet's successes and failures in his Spanish sieges, battles, counter-guerrilla operations, and administration. Volume 1 addresses the opening battles between Suchet and the Spanish commander Joaquin Blake, showing how Suchet recovered from an initial defeat to decisively crush his opponent, before considering the string of successful sieges that ended with the fall of Tarragona and a Marshal's baton.

Through a string of brilliant battlefield victories and sieges against Spanish regular forces as well as an initially successful counter-guerrilla campaign, Suchet managed to not only secure French control of Aragon, but moved on to conquer Lower Catalonia and Valencia as well. Like all French commanders in the Peninsular War, Suchet was faced with the challenges of Spanish popular resistance, but stood out above his colleagues for his notable success in pacifying Aragon.

Yet despite initial triumphs in 1809-1811 against the 'traditional guerrilla', Suchet's counter-guerrilla policies were less successful than is often popularly perceived. As the war went on, French resources became thinly stretched, while conversely, the guerrilla war was increasingly spearheaded by Spanish regular forces to great efficiency, which contributed to the eventual collapse of French control in Eastern Spain. Includes 16 b/w illustrations, 11 color illustrations, and 11 maps.

Napoleon once famously remarked 'If I had had two Marshals like Suchet, I should not only have conquered Spain, but have kept it.' 1 vol, 256 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

3-14220 Lachouque, Henry NAPOLEON'S WAR IN SPAIN In the early 1800s, the Spanish Ulcer was for the French what the Eastern Front was for the Germans in 1941-45 or Vietnam was for the Americans. This book devotes itself to the war in Spain and ignores the campaigns in Portugal, where the French suffered their worst defeats. The treatment is strongly pro-French but told with fine narration and balance. Each chapter covers a single year of the struggle.

The authors stress three major contributing factors to French defeat: the inability of the senior generals to work under King Joseph of Spain, Napoleon's brother and appointee; the popular hostility to French rule; and Wellington's great tactical skills. There has been no important French work devoted to this struggle published since the 1820s.

Napoleon finally had to accept defeat and was exiled to Elba with a small contingent of his Imperial Guard -- including a squadron of the famous Polish Lancers. This handful of loyal Poles returned with him when he escaped from Elba in 1815 and fought during the 100 Days and at Waterloo.

1-207470 Lapray, Olivier BATTLE OF MARENGO: The First Victory of the Century On 14 June 1800, during the second Italian campaign, Napoleon narrowly won the battle of Marengo (Piedmont). This famous battle opposed 28,000 French soldiers against 31,000 Austrian soldiers under the command of General Melas.

At first, the French had to retreat nearly seven miles back. Melas, believing that victory was assured, left the command to a subordinate and returned to Alessandria. The adversary's delay thus allowed Napoleon to concentrate his forces, especially the corps of General Desaix, which arrived as a reinforcement. Around 5:00 in the afternoon, the violent French counterattack forced the Austrians to retreat, although claiming the life of Desaix, the hero of the day.

This great victory lead to the French occupation of Lombardy and reinforced the authority of Napoleon in France. 1 vol, 144 pgs 2014 FRANCE, HISTOIRE AND COLLECTIONS

History of the campaigns that determined control of Germany following Napoleon's catastrophic defeat in Russia. In the spring of 1813, Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon as a war of national liberation.

Uses German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources to provide a panoramic history ranging from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy and operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy and civil-military relations. He examines the strategy, military operations, and battles in Germany from Napoleon's initial campaign which drove the Russo-Prussian army to the banks of the Oder and the verge of defeat to the epic four-day Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon's retreat to France.

This study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon's strategy in 1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare, international relations, and civil-military relations. 1 vol, 899 pgs 2015 UK, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS

1-190150 Letrun, Ludivic French Infantry Flags: 1789-1815 As witnesses to History's ups and downs, flags - and in particular infantry flags - reveal how short-lived ideas and their symbols can be when they are the unfortunate victims of auto-da-fes thought up by different regimes. Today museums have only managed to preserve a few rare specimens and the period texts and documents are mostly incomplete. This is particularly true for the Army of Italy flags, those of the volunteers and those of the half-brigades from 1794-1803, which are still mainly unknown to this day.

Faced with this type of major difficulty, and if a coherent picture of the flags is to be painted, a whole gamut of particularly inescapable assumptions has to be made. Nevertheless since historical exactitude does not allow for even the smallest unverifiable interpretations, it is up to us to warn our readers that the flags illustrated here are those that our research has enabled us to reproduce. Each individual regimental history has been established so as to follow the trail these flags left as they changed from regiment to half-brigade. These histories are not always able follow the rank numbering in the corps since there was often no direct association between them. For the reader to find his way around, an asterisk designates a battalion which was in at the foundation of the new regiment, and also shows that this unit's flag was most certainly adopted provisionally.

1-197433 Letrun, Ludovic CHASSEURS A CHEVAL: Volume 3 - 1810-1815 (Officers and Soldiers #21) This third part illustrates the last years of the Empire; dark years which will see our 'Chasseurs' being gobbled up during the Russian disaster. Like a lot of regiments, the Chasseurs A Cheval were swallowed up in the Russian disaster. Phantom regiments were reformed with considerable difficulty in 1813 and 1814.

During the First Restoration, 15 regiments were formed from the debris of the battles in Prussia and in France -- regiments which then took part in the Belgian Campaign and its epilogue at Waterloo. King Louis VXIII dismissed these 15 regiments on 16 July 1815, but it wasn't until the 18th that the Chasseurs a Cheval reappeared in the Royal Army! During this period there was obviously a whole series of uniform changes. 1 vol, 80 pgs 2012

1-218600 Limm, Andrew WALCHEREN TO WATERLOO: The British Army in the Low Countries during French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815 The military success achieved by the Duke of Wellington casts a long shadow over the history of the British army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. The popular account of Britain's military record in the great struggle against Napoleonic France is chiefly one of glorious victories, with Britain cast as the savior of Europe from the Corsican 'monster.' Most British historians have focused on retelling stories of British success, notably Wellington's, in Spain, Portugal, and during the Hundred Days campaign and tend to pay little attention to British military defeats.

But is the focus on Wellington's successes really an appropriate way to understand the performance of the British army in a conflict which lasted over 20 years? And what about the army's poor record in the Low Countries, where it suffered defeats and sustained crippling losses during the same period? This study provides a more balanced account of the British contribution to the downfall of Napoleon. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2018 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-202970 Lipscombe, Nick WELLINGTON'S GUNS: The Untold Story of Wellington and His Artillery in the Peninsula and at Waterloo Dismissive, conservative and aloof, Wellington treated his artillery with disdain during the Napoleonic Wars - despite their growing influence on the field of battle. Wellington's Guns exposes, for the very first time, the often stormy relationship between Wellington and his artillery, how the reluctance to modernize the British artillery corps threatened to derail the British push for victory and how Wellington's views on the command and appointment structure within the artillery opened up damaging rifts between him and his men.

At a time when artillery was undergoing revolutionary changes - from the use of mountain guns during the Pyrenees campaign in the Peninsular, the innovative execution of 'danger-close' missions to clear the woods of Hougomont at Waterloo, to the introduction of creeping barrages and Congreve's rockets - Wellington seemed to remain distrustful of a force that played a significant role in shaping tactics and changing the course of the war.

Using extensive research and first-hand accounts, Colonel Nick Lipscombe reveals that despite Wellington's brilliance as a field commander, his abrupt and uncompromising leadership style, particularly towards his artillery commanders, shaped the Napoleonic Wars, and how despite this, the ever-evolving technology and tactics ensured that the extensive use of artillery became one of the hallmarks of a modern army. 1 vol, 472 pgs 2013 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING

1-193490 Liscombe, Nick PENINSULAR WAR ATLAS, THE - Revised Edition The Peninsular War is one of the defining campaigns of the British Army and sealed its reputation for supreme professionalism, heroic obstinacy and sheer perseverance. It made the reputation of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, and acts as the backdrop to the adventures of Bernard Cornwell's fictional hero Richard Sharpe. The British Army, under Sir John Moore and Wellington, ranged across the plains and mountains of Portugal and Spain and into France, taking part in 15 field actions and four bloody sieges, including Salamanca, Vitoria and Badajoz, but this is only part of the picture. The contribution of the Spanish and Portuguese forces is frequently overlooked, but there were a further 25 field actions and 15 sieges in the Iberian peninsula as part of the savage duel between the French occupiers and native inhabitants. In this newly revised edition of The Peninsular War Atlas, Colonel Nick Lipscombe expands upon his comprehensive, non-partisan examination of the conflict with 164 original maps, accompanied by an authoritative text narrating the war. His 34 years of service in the British Army, including postings in both Spain and Portugal, give him a unique perspective on the conflict. With contributions from Professor Charles Esdaile and the present Duke of Wellington as well as the cooperation of the Spanish and Portuguese authorities, this book is the essential topographical guide to the conflict. The Peninsular War Atlas has been published in collaboration with Peninsular War 200, the organisation established 'to commemorate in a spirit of respect to all and malice to none the 40,000 British (including Irish and foreign-auxiliary) service personnel who lost their lives in the Peninsular War of 1808-14'.

Lyall compiled numerous series of British, Indian, and various European armies and epochs. His works can be found in the large collections of uniforms such as the Anne S. K. Brown Collection, USA.

Displays all the arms and important regiments who participated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 in 75 panels. Each unit is treated on one or more panels and with the various degrees of service. The staff and the special groups are also not missing.

1-218972 Lyall, Charles UNIFORMS OF THE ARMIES AT WATERLOO: Volume 2 - Allied Armies This volume presents the Allied armies of 1815 with Dutch-Belgian, Hanoverian (including the King's German Legion - KGL), Nassau, and Brunswick units.

The volume addresses the foreign units that took part in the 1815 campaign in the Netherlands with the Duke of Wellington, whose British Army was presented in the first volume. Along with the Hanoverian units, either as the KGL or as new formations that were created in the Kingdom of Hanover starting in 1813, these were primarily troops from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
They consisted not only of the original Dutch but also Belgian units plus a small Nassau contingent. The smallest body of troops was the contingent provided by the Duke of Brunswick.

Drawn from authentic sources by the artist Charles James Lyall, one of the classic English uniform artists at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1894 Lyall launched a series of uniform plates on the armies at Waterloo in 1815. Lyall compiled series of numerous uniform prints of British, Indian, and various European armies and epochs. 1 vol, 96 pgs 2019, GERMANY, BERLIN ZINNFIGUREN

Like in the two previous volumes, the plates by the 19th century artist Charles Lyall are critiqued based on current knowledge of the uniforms, equipment, and weapons. A detailed description of the Prussian forces' organization and uniforms supplements Lyall's illustrations. Two maps from William Siborne's rare atlas facilitate understanding of the course of the Battle of Ligny. This fills a long-standing gap of a comprehensive work on the Prussian Army of 1815. 1 vol, 96 pgs 2019, GERMANY, BERLIN ZINNFIGUREN

1-218974 Lyall, Charles UNIFORMS OF THE ARMIES AT WATERLOO: Volume 4 - French Army This fourth volume concludes the series on the 'Uniforms of the Armies at Waterloo.'
After the previous volumes presented the Allied side, this fourth part deals with its opponents, the French Armee du Nord under the command of Napoleon I. This Northern Army, despite its short existence after Napoleon's return to France's imperial throne, consisted of numerous experienced soldiers from his earlier campaigns, with the caveat that its uniforms did not always comply with regulations due to the army's rapid mobilization.

As in the three previous volumes, this evaluates Charles Lyall's uniform plates by using the current knowledge of how the French troops appeared in 1815. Due to the special status attributed to the French Imperial Guard, especially in England, numerous Lyall plates deal with Guard units. However, some of the units depicted had already been disbanded before 1815 but the editors decided to publish them in this volume as well, along with a short commentary.

This also provides the order of battle as well as supplementary descriptions of the organization and uniforms of the Northern Army's units deployed in the Netherlands. Finally, the description of the Battle of Waterloo, begun in the first volume and continued in the following volumes, is taken up again and continued until the end with the French retreat from the battlefield. This description is accompanied by two more maps from William Siborne's Atlas to History of the Waterloo Campaign. 1 vol, 96 pgs 2022, GERMANY, BERLIN ZINNFIGUREN

Anyone interested in military history knows that the Prussian kingdom was one of the main protagonists of the Napoleonic Wars. After severe defeats in the fight against Napoleon I and great humiliation by the French occupation, Prussia finally went to the renewal of its own army. In association with Austria and Russia, Napoleon I was able to defeat and move into triumph in Paris. At the same time, the Prussian army and, above all, its uniformity and equipment, to say the least, has been poorly illuminated in Russian military history literature.

The book is a consistent continuation of the series of articles on the uniform of the Prussian Army, published in the years between 2008 and 2016, in the Old Arsenal, Sergeant, and Kaiser journals. Unfortunately, the magazine format prevented the exhaustive processing of the topic, and part of the artwork had to be omitted. This book attempted to collect the most important pieces of uniforms, uniform parts and equipment from the most important Russian and international collections.

Of course, the book cannot claim to portray all the small elements and differences in the uniforms and equipment of the Prussian soldiers in the first half of the 19th century, but it is to be hoped that this book will be for all collectors, Historians and interested parties will be a helpful reference work in clarifying uniformkundlicher issues. 1 vol, 258 pgs 2020 RUSSIA

1-227180 Marsden, John NAPOLEON"S STOLEN ARMY: How the Royal Navy Rescued a Spanish Army in the Baltic A Spanish army, commanded by the Marques de La Romana, which was sent to Denmark by Napoleon in 1807, when France and Spain were allies bound by the Treaty of San Ildefonso, signed in 1796. When relations between the two countries broke down in May 1808, they were soon at war with each other, and La Romana's troops became, in effect, a captive army in the hands of the French.

When Spain looked to create an alliance with Britain against her erstwhile ally, they found the British government only too eager to help. The Royal Navy's dominant presence in the Baltic provided a ready opportunity to seal the new alliance and, once the political groundwork had been laid, plans for a daring rescue of the entrapped Spaniards by Vice Admiral Keats' squadron were drawn up. However, while efforts were being made by the British to accumulate and prepare a sufficient amount of shipping to carry out the operation, difficulties soon arose in making contact with La Romana in order to convey to him the intentions of the Spanish and British high commands. This almost led to disaster, and the whole operation was saved only by some remarkable strokes of fortune, and remarkable leadership provided by Keats and La Romana. Includes seven b/w illustrations, eight pages of color plates, and eight maps.

Until now this remarkable and little-known story has had little coverage in the various histories written about the Peninsular War. Using Spanish archives, this book teels the tale of how part of La Romana's army was evacuated from Danish Baltic territory during the summer of 1808. Due to circumstance and bad fortune, a significant part of the Spanish army was left behind during the Royal Navy's action, and there is an interesting story told about what became of these men, related via the personal accounts left by two of the soldiers who did not return to Spain with La Romana.

1-215530 Martin, Yves THE FRENCH ARMY OF THE ORIENT 1798-1801: Napoleon's Beloved 'Egyptians' More than 200 years ago - under the inspiration and leadership of Bonaparte - a revolutionary French Army invaded Egypt, then part of the Ottoman Empire; this presence lasted beyond Bonaparte's own departure and subsequent rise to power as First Consul. It ended with another invasion - this time by the British - and the repatriation in France of what was left of the 'Army of the Orient'. The birth of Egyptology; the rise of modern Egypt; the demise of the Ottoman Empire; and start of 'the great game' have all been often told and studied, but what is less well known is that as the French found themselves stranded in a foreign land - profoundly alien to them in culture and climate - they had to adapt to survive.

Egypt was a proving ground for many officers and ordinary soldiers who were to rise to prominence during the Napoleonic period. Some of Napoleon's future inner circle - like Davout, Savary and Lasalle - were first spotted by the young Bonaparte in Egypt, and although initially unplanned as such, it turned out to be the first attempt by the French to build a colony on the African continent. It especially led the French Army to adopt totally new clothing and equipment; to organize native units; and even to draft men from faraway Darfur into its own ranks.

1-218520 McNab, Chris NAPOLEON'S MILITARY MACHINE: Operations Manual The Grande Armee of Napoleon Bonaparte is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest fighting forces ever deployed. With it the French scored a streak of historic victories that gave them an unprecedented grip on power over the European continent. At its peak it was made up of 680,000 men, a huge multi-national force of officers, infantry and cavalry, artillery and support services masterminded by a superior and highly flexible system of corps, divisions, brigades and regiments, commanded by officers in which Napoleon placed a huge degree of trust and autonomy to operate within the outlines of his strategic objectives. 200 color & 50 b&w illustrations.

Looking closely at how this military machine was constructed and mobilized, Napoleon's Military Machine Operations Manual examines all aspects of the Grande Armee, from individual soldiers, what they wore, ate, slept in and were paid, to the chain of command, recruitment and training, intelligence and comms, and logistics and battle tactics. The legacy of Napoleon's army is assessed, as is how his organization and management initiatives influenced national armies around the world in ways that can still be seen today. 1 vol, 160 pgs 2019 UK, HAYNES PUBLISHING UK

Reveals the extent of command dissension at the Russian headquarters, discusses operational and logistical challenges confronting the Russian army, and underscores the heroism of the Russian soldiers. During a grueling campaign, Bennigsen evaded Napoleon's enveloping maneuvers during a five-day all-out pursuit that brought the two sides to the snow-covered fields of Eylau. Here over 140,000 French and Russian soldiers fought a terrible battle that claimed over 40,000 casualties and left thousands of dead and wounded littering the frozen slope.

A Hanoverian by birth, General Levin von Bennigsen spent 45 years in the Russian army earning a reputation as a capable officer. Includes 32 b/w illustrations and 7 maps. 1 vol, 234 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-204830 Mikaberidze, Alexander THE BURNING OF MOSCOW: Napoleon's Trial by Fire 1812 As soon as Napoleon and his Grand Army entered Moscow, on 14 September 1812, the capital erupted in flames that eventually engulfed and destroyed two thirds of the city. The fiery devastation had a profound effect on the Grand Army, but for thirty-five days Napoleon stayed, making increasingly desperate efforts to achieve peace with Russia.

Then, in October, almost surrounded by the Russians and with winter fast approaching, he abandoned the capital and embarked on the long, bitter retreat that destroyed his army. The month-long stay in Moscow was a pivotal moment in the war of 1812 - the moment when the initiative swung towards the Tsar's armies and spelled doom for the invading Grand Army - yet it has rarely been studied in the same depth as the other key events of the campaign.

Alexander Mikaberidze, in this third volume of his in-depth reassessment of the war between the French and Russian empires, emphasizes the importance of the Moscow fire and shows how Russian intransigence sealed the fate of the French army.

He uses a vast array of French, German, Polish and Russian memoirs, letters and diaries as well as archival material in order to tell the dramatic story of the Moscow fire. Not only does he provide a comprehensive account of events, looking at them from both the French and Russian points of view, but he explores the Russians' motives for leaving, then burning their capital.

Using extensive eyewitness accounts, he paints a vivid picture of the harsh reality of life in the remains of the occupied city and describes military operations around Moscow at this turning point in the campaign. 1 vol, 288 pgs 2014 UK, PEN AND SWORD

1-208350 Mikaberidze, Alexander RUSSIAN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE CAMPAIGN OF 1807 After the crushing defeat of Prussia in 1806, Napoleon marched into Poland to forestall any Russian attempts to come to the aid of their ally. There then followed the bloody battle in a blizzard at Eylau on 8 February 1807, which decimated both armies. Operations resumed in the spring and on 14 June Napoleon wrecked the Russian field army at Friedland. Napoleon and Emperor Alexander met at Tiltsit to end the war, and French mastery of northwest Europe was confirmed.

This book brings together dozens of Russian letters, memoirs, and diaries, with authors ranging from the commander-in-chief (Benningsen) to NCOs. We see the brutal conditions of the winter campaign at first hand, and gain fresh insight into the infamous Treaty of Tiltsit and the diplomatic maneuvering that followed it. 1 vol, 288 pgs 2015 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS

1-236540 Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky, Alexander Ivanovich 1806-1807: TSAR ALEXANDER'S SECOND WAR WITH NAPOLEON The Russian official history of the second war between Emperor Alexander and Napoleon, in 1806 and 1807, using original military and diplomatic documents and the testimonies of witnesses and participants from the war.

First published in 1846, the history considers the reasons for the war undertaken by Emperor Alexander in alliance with Prussia, the disaster that befell Prussia at Jena and Auerstedt, and Alexander's mobilization when, after the destruction of the Prussians, Napoleon moved to the borders of Russia.

Following Napoleon's crossing to the right bank of the Vistula, the narrative describes the subsequent Russian military operations against Napoleon in both the winter and spring campaigns. The winter campaign culminated with the Battle of Eylau, with consideration to the exhaustion of the fighting armies, frosts, impassable roads, and political factors that stopped the bloodshed in the main theater of war until May.

The narrative then considers the inactivity of the armies, and exhaustion of all possible resources in anticipation of the spring campaign, before concluding with Napoleon's repulse at Heilsberg, the Russian defeat at Freidland, retreat to the right bank of the Neman, and peace at Tilsit. 1 vol, 232 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-208290 Mirante, Rand MEDUSA'S HEAD: The Rise and Survival of Joseph Fouche, Inventor of the Modern Police State Hardcover version.

Minister of Police Joseph Fouche was universally distrusted, feared, and hated in his time, but was nevertheless considered indispensable. This biography recounts the chameleonic and astonishing career of Napoleon's security chief, who created the modern police state and wielded immense power that threatened the other main organs of government.

Fouche was one of the most important, fascinating, and controversial figures of the French Revolution, the First Empire, and the Bourbon Restoration. His roles included a priest-in-training who became a radical Jacobin and de-Christianizer; a regicide who cast a dramatic swing vote for Louis XVI's immediate execution; the grim and remorseless 'Butcher of Lyon' mastermind of the conspiracy that sent Robespierre to the guillotine; and the head of Napoleon's police - privy to everyone's secrets, shaping the media, deploying 10,000 informants in Paris alone, and securing funding from the Empire's casinos and brothels.

He was also the enabler of Napoleon's 1799 coup and subsequent repeated betrayer of the Emperor; acting president after Waterloo and traitor to France; Louis XVIII's Minister of Police, in spite of his responsibility for the death of the King's brother; and finally a wealthy but disgraced exile who met an unusual end in Trieste on the Adriatic. 1 vol, 300 pgs 2014 US, ARCHWAY PUBLISHING

1-220290 Mongin, Jean Rivoli: 1796-1797 Du Pont d'Arcole a la Bataille de Rivoli The French Directory, in 1796, decided to hit the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the heart. Two armies in Germany failed while the small army of Italy, under the orders of Bonaparte, in a dazzling and brilliant campaign rolled the Austrians. In less than 12 months, it destroyed four Austrian armies, grabbed a part of Piedmont, founded two republics, conquered northern Italy, and on October 7, 1797, signed the Treaty of Campo Formio with Austria. Napoleon Bonaparte accessed to glory.

This book reveals the aspects of the last months of the campaign. The first chapters include narratives of battles and maneuvers, plus tactics that brought wins with the strategic importance of the vision of Bonaparte. The second part addresses the technical components and uniforms of the units on both sides. The third deals with the cultural, economic, and political dimensions of the first victorious campaign of Bonaparte. 1 vol, 160 pgs 2019 FRANCE, HEIMDAL

1-226030 Mongin, Jean Marie LES ITALIENS DE L'EMPEREUR: Les Arm?es de la P?ninsule Italienne 1800-1815 This army of the Kingdom of Italy started during Bonaparte's first campaign with the creation of the Lombard and Cisalpine Legions. This army especially featured a greater number of enrolled troops, instead of volunteers. The Italian Royal Guard, from the beginning of the century, was the hub around which the Army of the Kingdom of Italy was formed. It took part in the great campaigns of the Empire. The transalpine uniforms often recalled those worn by their French brothers-in-arms. The Army of the Kingdom of Naples (from 1806 to 1815, commanded in succession by Joseph Bonaparte then Joachim Murat) inherited a tradition forged by the Bourbons. The Neapolitan Army, large but unreliable, was entrusted with defending the south of Italy with the French, against the Bourbons and the English; this did not prevent it from being mobilized alongside the French army in Spain or in divisions within the Grande Armee during the Russian Campaign. 1 vol, 160 pgs 2020 FRANCE, HEIMDAL

By capitulations each canton could recruit military units on behalf of a neighbouring state with their own officers and rules. The French Revolution encountered the loyalty of the Swiss in the service of the King of France. The infamous massacre of the Swiss Guard on 10 August 1792 in the Tuileries was the bloodiest. After that the Swiss regiments in the infantry of the Line were disbanded. France, reorganised Europe between 1793 and 1813, and transformed Switzerland which supplied, not always in the best conditions, its neighbour with troops of great worth to the Revolution and to the Empire.

1-194670 Moon, Joshua Wellington's Two-Front War: The Peninsular Campaigns, at Home and Abroad, 1808-1814 The book chronicles Wellington's battle with Napoleon abroad and the British bureaucracy at home during the 1808-14 campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula.

Moon argues that the military's outdated promotion system, political maneuvering, and bureaucratic inertia - all subject to public opinion and a hostile press - thwarted Wellington's efforts, almost costing him the victory. Drawing on archival sources in the United Kingdom and at the United States Military Academy, Moon goes well beyond detailing military operations to delve into the larger effects of domestic policies, bureaucracy, and coalition building on strategy.

The book demonstrates the Iberian campaign was won only through the strategic vision and relentless determination of Wellington. Moon's multifaceted examination of the commander and his frustrations offers valuable insight into the complexities of fighting faraway battles under the scrutiny at home of government agencies and the press - issues still relevant today.

1-215840 Morawski, Ryszard & Nieuwazny, Andrzej ARMY OF THE DUCHY OF WARSAW: Generals, Aides-de-camp, Staffs Vol. 4 The fourth book of The Army of the Duchy of Warsaw series offers a new, comprehensive perspective on the commanders of the army of the Duchy of Warsaw, based on previously unused domestic and foreign archival records.

This book analyses topics such as changes in the structure of commanding the army, officials of the Duchy connected with the military, and the health service and chaplains offering pastoral care to the troops. The text contains organization charts of the supreme military offices and of infantry and cavalry regiments. A separate chapter was dedicated to the orders of the era, only partly familiar to those interested in the issue. Apart from popular orders, such as the Virtuti Militari and the Legion of Honour, this covers 10 other orders worn on their uniforms by Polish generals and aides-de-camp.

The two tables provide information on nominations to particular ranks and on the distinctions conferred on the generals of the Duchy and on Polish higher officers serving in foreign armies (in French and Italian pay).

Illustrations depict Prince Jozef Poniatowski and 28 other generals in various uniforms, worn at that time by high-ranking officers of the Duchy of Warsaw. Other charts show officers, aides-de-camps, and officials employed in the staff and in the Ministry of War. Eight detailed charts offer an insight into the separate parts of the uniforms and accessories. Over a dozen other detailed tables are related to orders and medical equipment. 1 vol, 328 pgs 2017 POLAND, KARABELA

1-212300 Morewood, John WATERLOO GENERAL: The Life, Letters and Mysterious Death of Major General Sir William Ponsonby 1772 - 1815 At the Battle of Waterloo Sir William Ponsonby, a man who the Duke of Wellington stated had 'rendered very brilliant and important services and was an ornament to his profession', was killed by French lancers after leading the Union Brigade (the three Dragoon Regiments of the Royals, Iniskillings, and Scots Greys) in a charge that wrecked a French advance that threatened Wellington with defeat. Sir William was a career soldier who had led his regiment in the decisive charge at the Battle of Salamanca and served with great distinction during the Peninsular War. Yet historians have blamed him because the charge at Waterloo got out of hand. Includes 30 illustrations.

Uses family sources, including Sir William's letters, as well as French and German accounts, to restore his reputation and, by shedding new light on the battle, establishes what really happen to him on that fatal afternoon. It is also a biography of a man whose bravery and professionalism distinguished him as one of the outstanding cavalry commanders of the age. 1 vol, 280 pgs 2016 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-234780 Mugnal, Bruni THE OTTOMAN ARMY OF THE NAPOLEONIC WARS 1784-1815: A Struggle for Survival from Egypt to the Balkans Examines the changes and development of the Ottoman army from its campaigns against the Bedouin in Iraq in the 1780s until the Serbian uprisings in 1804-13 and 1815. It also includes a detailed description of the dress and equipment of the Ottoman soldiers of this period.

The Ottoman Empire was only marginally affected by the conflicts of the Napoleonic era; however, the period between the 1780s and 1820s was very important for the history and institutions of the multicultural state. Scholars working on the Ottomans in the Balkans, Anatolia, Egypt, and Syria have reached something of a consensus about these years as a watershed for the Ottomans. It was a moment when reform became necessary not just as a palace experiment, but as a matter of life and death for the dynasty and empire alike.

Survival in the Ottoman dynastic context meant engaging in a series of multilateral negotiations, not only with foreign powers, but also with a host of new military, intellectual, and religious elite groups. These emerged precisely because of shrinking borders, mobile military forces, and refugee populations. The struggle for survival was central to the changing dynamics of Ottoman society, especially in a period when war was generally proving too costly in human and economic terms. The toll on local society was large, and also involved the territories of the empire which were not directly within the war zones. 1 vol, 406 pgs 2022 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-202923 Muilwijk, Erwin STANDING FIRM AT WATERLOO This volume deals with the specific role of the Netherlands field army on both days of 17th and 18th June, 1815. In great detail the endeavors, events and the hard fighting of its infantry, cavalry and artillery are described. All this is based on dozens of memoirs by veteran soldiers from Holland, Belgium and Nassau serving together in the Netherlands field army.

Their own words lavishly illustrate and enliven the text. The history presented in this volume adds to the knowledge on the 1815 campaign and the Battle of Waterloo, and shall change the perception on the Netherlands field army. Its men fought brave, showed courage and ultimately firmly stood their ground.

In various chapters this history amongst other shows the important role of Prince Frederik's army corps in the preconceived position south of Halle, while the troops at Waterloo were engaged in battle under the command of Wellington and the Prince of Orange. Sappers cleared the road behind the battlefield to ensure a steady flow of reserve ammunition from Brussels.

The infantry brigade of General van Bijlandt was already in cover behind the reverse slope, well before the French grand battery opened fire and Comte d'Erlon's army corps attacked the position. Throughout the entire battle the Nassau battalion commanded by Captain Busgen formed a vital part of the defense force of Hougoumont. The light cavalry of General Ghigny made several charges on the left wing, after the British cavalry regiments were thrown back in disorder. Colonel von Sachsen-Weimar's Nassau soldiers fought a skirmish battle for the farms of Papelotte and La Haye and the Smohain hamlet, that changed hands during the battle.

The exact circumstances how the Prince of Orange was wounded are presented. And finally the role of General Chasse and his troops is presented in the final stages of the battle, when the Garde Imperiale attacks. Chasse's men were not directly involved, but nonetheless immediately took part in the pursuit at the end of the battle.

In several sidebars this history also examines topics that could not be incorporated in the main narrative, but are nonetheless worthwhile to present. These include the death of General van Merlen, how a single lieutenant recaptured Charleroi on 19th June, who escorted the thousands of French prisoners to Brussels during the battle, whether or not Napoleon used the observatory tower, examples of surgery during the battle, and much more. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2014 NETHERLANDS, SOVEREIGN HOUSE BOOKS

1-207770 Nafziger, George THE END OF EMPIRE: Napoleon's 1814 Campaign The End of Empire continues Nafziger's definitive military studies of the Napoleonic era beginning with the 1812 campaign and progressing through the 1813 campaign. Having suffered a massive reversal of fortunes in Russia Napoleon found himself confronted, in Germany, by the combined forces of Russia, Prussia, and Austria.

After the disaster of Leipzig Napoleon's German allies fell away and he was forced to fall back, beyond the borders of France. Offered a negotiated peace on the basis of a return to the pre-1792 borders, Napoleon chose to continue to fight, trusting in his star. He was, however, desperate for troops and short of horses and cash. Cornered and threatened by three armies invading from the north, northeast, and east, every chance to stop the Allies had to be taken and there was desperate battle after desperate battle.

Of all his campaigns, Napoleon's 1814 campaign was one of his most brilliant. Eventually, after several terrible defeats, the Allies refused to engage him in battle when he confronted them. Instead they pushed their other two armies forward, slowly driving him back as he rushed to block the advance of the other armies on Paris. This strategy proved successful and eventually Napoleon was obliged to abdicate when his marshals refused to fight further.

4-45360 Nafziger, George NAPOLEON AT LEIPZIG: The Battle of the Nations 1813 Leipzig dashed the dreams of a French Empire when the armies of Prussia, Russia, Austria and Sweden converged on Napoleon and his Grande Armee. It was the greatest battle of the Napoleonic Wars, and so decisive it would be called Battle of the Nations.

Smaller countries like Poland and Saxony seemed to be submerged in the titanic struggle and the battle shaped Europe for more than a century. Napoleon at Leipzig not only covers this pivotal battle, but also the maneuvers that led up to it and the retreat that followed. At Hanau, the Bavarians learned to their dismay the Napoleon was still the master of the battlefield.

The book includes the campaigns of Marshal Davout in the north, and the fate of the besieged French fortresses. From glittering field marshals to ragged Cossacks, in massive battles or small skirmishes, we see the dramatic campaign unfold.

1-226770 Nester, William NAPOLEON AND THE ART OF LEADERSHIP: How a Flawed Genius Changed the History of Europe and the World If the art of leadership is about getting what one wants, then Napoleon was among history's greatest masters. He understood and asserted the dynamic relationship among military, economic, diplomatic, technological, cultural, psychological, and thus political power. War was the medium through which he was able to demonstrate his innate skills, leading his armies to victories across Europe.

He overthrew France's corrupt republican government in a coup then asserted near dictatorial powers. Those powers were then wielded with great dexterity in transforming France from feudalism to modernity with a new law code, canals, roads, ports, schools, factories, national bank, currency, and standard weights and measures. With those successes, he convinced the Senate to proclaim him France's emperor and even got the pope to preside over his coronation. He reorganized swaths of Europe into new states and placed his brothers and sisters on the thrones. A psychologically penetrating study of the man who had such a profound effect on the world around him that the entire era still bears his name.

1-241890 Nester, William THE COALITIONS AGAINST NAPOLEON: How British Money, Manufacturing and Military Power Forged the Alliances that Achieved Victory Britain alone could not hope to defeat the might of Napoleonic France which, through enforced conscription, had become a nation in arms. But British leaders had a long history of forging alliances to counter their rivals and when revolution ravaged France in 1793 and a levee en masse raised a huge patriotic army, it was through a coalition of monarchies that French ambitions were restrained - a coalition made possible by British gold and British industry.

During the years 1793 to 1815, the British Government formed and underwrote seven coalitions that cost Britain 1,657,854,518 pounds as the national debt tripled from 290,000,000 pounds to 860,000,00 pounds . Of that, British subsidies to around thirty allies amounted to 65,830,228 pounds, along with staggering amounts of war supplies mass produced by British factories and shipped to allies.

Britain's power to underwrite those coalitions came from a related series of revolutions - agrarian, mercantile, financial, technological, manufacturing, cultural, and political that developed over the proceeding century. For many reasons that happened in Britain and not elsewhere. Of them, cultural values may be most crucial. Constraints were fewer and incentives greater for enterprising Britons to invest, invent, buy, and sell in ways that enriched themselves and their nation more than elsewhere. During the eighteenth century, Britain's leaders mastered a virtuous power cycle of victorious wars, expanding production, captured territories and markets, and more income. 1 vol, 272 pgs 2023 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS
