A Week at Waterloo in 1815
ISBN: 9781508818731 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Week at Waterloo in 1815 is a Napoleonic war history by Magdalene De Lancey. The subject--a deathbed scene--might seem at first sight to be a trite and common one. The mise-en-sce--the Battle of Waterloo--alone however redeems it from such a charge; and the principal actors play their part in no common-place or unrelieved tragedy. "Certainly," as Bacon says, "Vertue is like pretious Odours, most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed: For Prosperity doth best discover Vice; But Adversity doth best discover Vertue."

When the leaders of the French Revolution executed Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1793, they sent a chilling message to the hereditary ruling orders in Europe.

Nester offers a deeply informed and thoroughly fascinating narrative of how England accomplished this...

The Far Campaigning Soldier: a Personal Account of Military service from 1781-1813 in the West Indies, the Egyptian Campaign and the Walcheren Expe
ISBN: 9781782824879 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Personal observations of small campaigns of the Napoleonic age
The long period of the French Revolution, the Consulate and Napoleon's First Empire was notable not as a departure from almost perpetual hostility with the British, but because upon the conclusion of hostilities in 1815 the two nations never again went to war against each other. Military first-hand accounts from this era abound, though predictably most concern the theatres of war that engaged most soldiers of both sides, the Peninsular War and the Waterloo Campaign. Unusually the author of this engaging book of diary entries,... Personal observations of small campaigns of the Napoleonic age

Absolute War: Violence and Mass Warfare in the German Lands, 1792-1820
ISBN: 9780198787457 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wars have played a fundamental part in modern German history. Although infrequent, conflicts involving German states have usually been extensive and often catastrophic, constituting turning-points for Europe as a whole. Absolute War is the first in a series of studies from Mark Hewitson that explore how such conflicts were experienced by soldiers and civilians during wartime, and how they were subsequently imagined and understood during peacetime, from Clausewitz and Kleist to Junger and Adorno. Without such an understanding, it is difficult to make sense of the dramatic shifts...
