1814, The Campaign Of France The Wounded Eagle

Montmirail, Champaubert, Reims, Laon, Craonne, Montereau, Paris... Each of these names is synonymous of tumultuous victories and heroic fighting. Each is them is also a sign of the genius of Napoleon as a military leader, and a testimony of the sacrifice accepted by the men which followed him on the battlefields. In this new book, the Authors survey the whole campaign of France, stating facts and explaining the opponents' views. And, in the now famous third part of the book, they introduce us to the main actors of the drama: marshalls and generals, but also the obscure, ordinary NCOs and privates of Napoleon's army. And, as usual in this series, the intricately detailed color plates by Andre' Jouineau render the richness and diversity of the uniforms of all armies involved in the Emperor's most dashing campaign.Hourtoulle, Francois Guy is the author of '1814, The Campaign Of France The Wounded Eagle', published 2006 under ISBN 9782915239560 and ISBN 2915239568.
