- Summary:
- "The French Wars, 1792-1875" is a highly original, critical introduction to the revolutionary and Neopleonic conflicts. It illuminates the less well-known areas of the subject, such as the changing attitude of the French people towards Napoleon, as well as providing a balanced account of the campaigns of Wellington and Napoleon. Based on current historiography, this book discusses the expansion of France, the extent to which Napoleon was responsible for this success, and the events leading up to his subsequent exile. It also provides a clear examination of each of the coalitions which fought against France.
