Description
The Marshals of Napoleon's Eagles is a book about twenty-six legendary men set against the backdrop of two decades of the wars of the French Revolution, the Directory, the Consulate, and the Napoleonic Empire from the Battle of Valmy to the Battle of Waterloo. It is a story of the rise and fall of Napoleon's generals, of loyalty and betrayal, their talent, devotion, and hatred, ambition and mediocrity, strengths and weaknesses, pride, heroism, humility, ideals, great goals, and mundane means, about life in the field, at court, and in the family circle. Unlike the edition from ten years ago, the author has revised the text, significantly expanded it, added rich visual documentation, and a unique color appendix featuring the insignia of all the marshals.
