The Wars Against Napoleon by General Michel Franceschi
Popular and scholarly history presents a one-dimensional image of Napoleon as an inveterate instigator of war who repeatedly sought large-scale military conquests.
I found The Wars against Napoleon to be thought-provoking, stimulating and challengingIt allows us to view things differently and that is no bad thing. Here we have two much respected Napoleonic specialists putting forward an alternative agenda and provoking a reaction by asking us to reappraise our opinions. In a world which is becoming more bland and conformist by the minute, it is refreshing that authors should still seek to stimulate us in this way. * War Books Out Now *
The book is broadly set out chronologically and deals with Napoleon’s non military as well as his military achievements-- I found this a terrific read. It is a well written book in terms of its style, fast paced and downright interesting, it is written with such chutzpah and joie de vivre that it deserves your attention! * PlayHistory.net *
At last a unique book that provides a true view into the wars against France and possibly proves to all scholars of history that all previous historians, who have portrayed Bonaparte in the present perspective may, according to the authors, be unjust in their research. This book will arouse vigorous debate for years to come. Supported with Maps and diagrams this courageous book is a very intriguing read. Will the truth emerge? * Skirmish *
