An authoritative and comprehensive history of a perennially interesting subject
An authoritative and comprehensive history of a perennially interesting subject.
David Gates was Deputy Director and Senior Fellow of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies. He is the author of The Spanish Ulcer, and lives in Lancashire.
This is a compact, stimulating, and at times surprisingly polemical
account
*The International History Review*
Napoleon helped shape modern French politics, as much as he
determined the nature of modern warfare... Dr Gates's book is a
sure guide to the wars whose effects were felt well into the
twentieth century
*Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War, Oxford
University*
