"Napoleon's campaign of France in 1814 ranks among his finest. His resources were near breaking point but somehow the young French recruits managed to pull their emperors chestnuts out of the fire time and again. Their sacrifice for a lost cause should not detract us from remembering their bravery, courage and endurance…"

A very thin book for the price!! I do wonder about the proof reading as they cannot spell "Schwarzenburg" correctly – in the contents page it is spelt "Schweazenburg". In my view there are far better books out there on the 1814 campaign – admittedly recent volumes costing more though there are many freely availble on the internet. |

Can a campaign in which one completely fails to achieve one's political aims really be said to be one of one's 'finest'? But, as Thomas Hardy had Spirit Sinister say in 'The Dynasts': "War makes rattling good history; while peace is but poor reading. So I back Buonaparte because of the pleasure he will give posterity." |
