Overview

A highly original and critical introduction to the revolutionary and napoleonic conflicts.

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.
