Abstract

This book tells the story of the invasion of France at the twilight of Napoleon's empire. With more than a million men under arms throughout central Europe, Coalition forces poured over the Rhine River to invade France between late November 1813 and early January 1814. Three principal army groups drove across the great German landmark, smashing the exhausted French forces that attempted to defend the eastern frontier. In less than a month, French forces ingloriously retreated from the Rhine to the Marne; Allied forces were within one week of reaching Paris. This book provides the first complete English-language study of the invasion of France along a front that extended from Holland to Switzerland.

Abstract

This book examines Prussia's response to Napoleon and Napoleonic expansionism in the years before the crushing defeats of Auerstadt and Jena, a period of German history as untypical as it was dramatic. Between the years 1797 and 1806 the main fear of Prussian statesmen was French power, rather than revolution from below. This threat spawned a foreign-policy debate characterised by geopolitical thinking: the belief that Prussian policy was conditioned by her unique geographic situation at the heart of Europe. The book breaks new ground both methodologically and empirically. By combining high-political and geopolitical analysis, it is able to present a more comprehensive and nuanced picture than earlier interpretations. The book also draws on a very wide range of sources, official and unofficial, many previously unused.

Abstract

Shortly before the United States declared war on Great Britain in June 1812, Congress came within two votes of declaring war on Napoleon BonaparteÆs French empire. For six years, France and Britain had both seized American shipping. While common wisdom says that America was virtually an innocent in this matter, caught in the middle of the epic wars between France and Britain, Peter Hill has uncovered a far more complex and interesting history.French privateers and NapoleonÆs navy were seizing American merchant ships in a concerted attempt to disrupt BritainÆs commerce. American ships were the

Abstract

Napoleon promoted and honored great men throughout his reign. In addition to comparing himself to various great men, he famously established a Legion of Honor on 19 May 1802 to honor both civilians and soldiers, including non-ethnically French men. Napoleon not only created an Irish Legion in 1803 and later awarded William Lawless and John Tennent the Legion of Honour. Napoleon also gave them an Eagle with the inscription "L'Indépendence d'Irlande." He awarded twenty-six of his generals t...

Abstract

Wie was Napoleon? Over die vraag werd door Franse historici al tijdens zijn leven (1769-1821) gediscussieerd. Na zijn dood nam de discussie alleen maar toe. Was Napoleon een machtswellusteling en een tiran? Of bezorgde Napoleon Europa de beginselen van de Franse Revolutie (vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap) en legde hij zo de basis voor de huidige Europese Gemeenschap? De historicus Pieter Geyl, tussen 1936 en 1958 hoogleraar Algemene en Vaderlandse geschiedenis na de Middeleeuwen aan de Universiteit Utrecht, beschreef zestig jaar geleden de Franse discussie over Napoleon in een briljant bo
