THE NAPOLEONIC WARS: RISE AND FALL OF AN EMPIRE

Written by: Gregory Fremont-Barnes, Todd Fisher

Submitted By: Bernard

As the Osprey website describes it: 'The Napoleonic Wars saw fighting on an unprecedented scale in Europe and the Americas. It took the wealth of the British Empire, combined with the might of the continental armies, almost two decades to bring down one of the worlds greatest military leaders and the empire that he had created. Napoleon's ultimate defeat was to determine the history of Europe for almost 100 years. From the frozen wastelands of Russia, through the brutal fighting in the Peninsula to the blood-soaked battlefield of Waterloo, this book tells the story of the dramatic rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire.'

This book is scheduled for release on 1 May 2004. I wrote the foreword for it and I highly recommend it.
