Britain and the Defeat of Napoleon, 1807-1815

by Rory Muir

Book Overview

This account of the final years of Britain's long war against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France places the conflict in a new--and wholly modern--perspective. Rory Muir looks beyond the purely military aspects of the struggle to show how the entire British nation played a part in the victory. His book provides a total assessment of how politicians, the press, the crown, civilians, soldiers, and commanders together defeated France.
