The War of Wars is the thrilling
narrative of the twenty-two-year struggle
between two great powers: England
and France.
At the turn of the eighteenth century the greatest
nations in Europe, separated by only 21 miles of
water, offered two distinct idealogies that
would shape the new century: in England there was a
democratic, constitutional monarchy; in France
the cataclysm of Revolution had
dragged the absolute King from the throne and
replaced him with the Mob. Out of that maelstrom
emerged a military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte,
commander of the revolutionary army, who went on to
conquer Italy and Egypt before returning to Paris
to proclaim himself Emperor. As Napoleon gained
power in France, the world stood on the brink of
total war.
By 1805 the victorious General was
making plans to cross the channel and invade
England.The subsequent drama reaches from the
frozen plains surrounding Moscow to the
waters of the Caribbean, from the debating chamber of
Parliament to the muddy fields of Waterloo.
1793-1815 can truly be called the first
global war; it was also the first conflict driven by
industrial might. And it was a battle
between commanders that history will never
forget: as Napoleon's forces moved to engulf Europe, it was men like Duke Charles of Hapsburg and Gebhard von Blucher, the Duke of Wellington and Horatio Nelson, who turned the tide. Through the story of battles, politics
and diplomacy of the era, Robert Harvey brings
vivid new life to these men who
changed the course of history - for out of
the furnace of the Napoleonic Wars, the modern
world was born.
