Napoleon, France and Waterloo: The Eagle Rejected
ISBN: 9781473870826 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. So great is the weight of reading on the subject of the Waterloo campaign that it might be thought there is nothing left to say about it, and from the military viewpoint, this is very much the case. But one critical aspect of the story has gone all but untold - the French home front. Little has been written about the topic in English, and few works on Napoleon or Revolutionary and Napoleonic France pay it much attention. It is this conspicuous gap in the literature that Charles Esdaile explores in this erudite and absorbing study.
Drawing on the vivid, revealing material that is... So great is the weight of reading on the subject of the Waterloo campaign that it might be thought there is nothing left to say about it, and from the...

Women in the Peninsular War
ISBN: 9780806144788 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the iconography of the Peninsular War of 1808-14, women are well represented--both as heroines, such as Agustina Zaragosa Domenech, and as victims, whether of starvation or of French brutality. In history, however, with its focus on high politics and military operations, they are invisible--a situation that Charles J. Esdaile seeks to address.
In Women in the Peninsular War, Esdaile looks beyond the iconography. While a handful of Spanish and Portuguese women became Agustina-like heroines, a multitude became victims, and here both of these groups receive their due. But...

Popular Resistance in the French Wars
ISBN: 9781403938268 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In the Napoleonic period warfare ceased to be a matter for armies alone, but also became an affair of the people. So, at least, runs the usual claim. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Russia outraged peasants and townsfolk rose against the French armies and fell upon them without mercy. From these insurrections we get the modern word 'guerrilla', but did armed civilians really play an important a role in the struggle? In this collection of essays a group of specialists on the Napoleonic epoch tease out the question, and arrive at some startling conclusions.

Outpost of Empire: The Napoleonic Occupation of Andalucia, 1810-1812
ISBN: 9780806142784 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Napoleon s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier of Napoleon s outer empire, Andalucia remained under French control only briefly for two-and-a-half years and never experienced the normal functions of French rule. In this groundbreaking examination of the Peninsular War, Charles J. Esdaile moves beyond traditional military history to examine the French occupation of Andalucia and the origins and results of the region s complex and chaotic response.
Disillusioned by the Spanish provisional... Napoleon s forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier...
