Acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic as a new standard on the subject, this sweeping, boldly written history of the Napoleonic era reveals its central protagonist as a man driven by an insatiable desire for fame, and determined ?to push matters to extremes.? More than a myth-busting portrait of Napoleon, however, it offers a panoramic view of the armed conflicts that spread so quickly out of revolutionary France to countries as remote as Sweden and Egypt. As it... A glorious?and conclusive?chronicle of the wars waged by one of the most polarizing figures in military history

Napoleon's Wars: An International History, 1803-1815
ISBN: 9780141014203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No other soldier has provoked as much anger or as much fervour as Napoleon Bonaparte. Was he a monster, driven on by an endless, ruinous quest for military adventure - or was he a social and political visionary, brought down by petty reactionaries clinging to their privileges? Charles Esdaile's major new work reframes our understanding of Napoleon. Napoleon's Wars looks beyond the insatiable greed for glory to create a new, genuinely international context for Napoleon's career. The battles themselves Esdaile sees as almost side-effects, the consequences of rulers being willing to take the...

Fighting Napoleon: Guerrillas, Bandits and Adventurers in Spain, 1808-1814
ISBN: 9780300101126 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Alongside the Spanish army in the campaign against Napoleon (1808-1814) was an assortment of freebooters, local peasants, and bandits who were organized into ad hoc regional private armies. These "guerrillas"--a term introduced to the English language during the Peninsular War--ambushed French convoys, attacked French encampments, and pounced upon, dodged, and fought French columns, often with extreme brutality. This book investigates for the first time the irregular Spanish forces and their role in resisting Napoleon. Delving deeply into previously untapped archival...

Popular Resistance in the French Wars
ISBN: 9781403938268 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

Women in the Peninsular War
ISBN: 9780806144788 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...
