The Campaigns of Napoleon - David G. Chandler
In this “engrossing,” (The New Yorker) vivid, and intensively researched volume, esteemed Napoleon scholar David Chandler outlines the military strategy that led the famous French emperor to his greatest victories—and to his ultimate downfall.Napoleonic war was nothing if not complex—an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of moves and intentions, which by themselves went a long way towards baffling and dazing his conventionally minded opponents into that state of disconcerting moral disequilibrium which so often resulted in their catastrophic defeat. The Campaigns of Napoleon is a masterful analysis and insightful critique of Napoleon''s art of war as he himself developed and perfected it in the major military campaigns of his career. Napoleon disavowed any suggestion that he worked from formula (“Je n''ai jamais eu un plan d''opérations”), but military historian David Chandler demonstrates this was at best only a half-truth. To be sure, every operation Napoleon conducted contained unique improvisatory features. But there were from the first to the last certain basic principles of strategic maneuver and battlefield planning that he almost invariably put into practice. To clarify these underlying methods, as well as the style of Napoleon''s fabulous intellect, Chandler examines in detail each campaign mounted and personally conducted by Napoleon, analyzing the ...

Napoleon the Great - Andrew Roberts
''A Napoleonic triumph of a book, irresistibly galloping with the momentum of a cavalry charge'' Simon Sebag Montefiore''Simply dynamite'' Bernard CornwellFrom Andrew Roberts, author of the bestsellers The Storm of War and Churchill: Walking with Destiny, this is the definitive modern biography of Napoleon.Napoleon Bonaparte lived one of the most extraordinary of all human lives. In the space of just twenty years, from October 1795 when as a young artillery captain he cleared the streets of Paris of insurrectionists, to his final defeat at the (horribly mismanaged) battle of Waterloo in June 1815, Napoleon transformed France and Europe. After seizing power in a coup d''état he ended the corruption and incompetence into which the Revolution had descended. In a series of dazzling battles he reinvented the art of warfare; in peace, he completely remade the laws of France, modernised her systems of education and administration, and presided over a flourishing of the beautiful ''Empire style'' in the arts. The impossibility of defeating his most persistent enemy, Great Britain, led him to make draining and ultimately fatal expeditions into Spain and Russia, where half a million Frenchmen died and his Empire began to unravel.More than any other modern biographer, Andrew Roberts ...

Napoleon and Wellington - Andrew Roberts
A dual biography of the greatest opposing generals of their age who ultimately became fixated on one another, by a bestselling historian.''Thoroughly enjoyable, beautifully written and meticulously researched'' ObserverOn the morning of the battle of Waterloo, the Emperor Napoleon declared that the Duke of Wellington was a bad general, the British were bad soldiers and that France could not fail to win an easy victory. Forever afterwards historians have accused him of gross overconfidence, and massively underestimating the calibre of the British commander opposed to him. Andrew Roberts presents an original, highly revisionist view of the relationship between the two greatest captains of their age. Napoleon, who was born in the same year as Wellington - 1769 - fought Wellington by proxy years earlier in the Peninsula War, praising his ruthlessness in private while publicly deriding him as a mere ''sepoy general''. In contrast, Wellington publicly lauded Napoleon, saying that his presence on a battlefield was worth forty thousand men, but privately wrote long memoranda lambasting Napoleon''s campaigning techniques. Although Wellington saved Napoleon from execution after Waterloo, Napoleon left money in his will to the man who had tried to assassinate Wellington. Wellington in turn amassed a series of Napoleonic ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Napoleon's Women Camp Followers - Terry Crowdy
Researched from genuine primary sources, this is the first book to explain and illustrate the organization, activities and personal stories of the female ''support staff'' who played a major role in the day-to-day life of Napoleon''s armies.The cantinières who accompanied Napoleon''s armies to war have an iconic status in the history of the Grande Armée. Sutler-women and laundresses were officially sanctioned members of the regiment performing a vital support role. In a period when the supply and pay services were haphazard, their canteen wagons and tents were a vital source of sustenance and served as the social hubs of the regiment. Although officially non-combatants, many of these women followed their regiments into battle, serving brandy to soldiers in the firing line, braving enemy fire.This book is a timely piece of social history, as well as a colourful new guide for modellers and re-enactors.

This book chronicles the story of the single most daring Special Forces operation since World War Two - Operation Barras; the attempted rescue by the SAS of the British Forces who were being held captive by guerrilla gang the West Side Boys in the Sierra Leone jungle. The West Side Boys were a strange-looking bunch, wearing pink shades, shower caps, fluorescent wigs and voodoo charms they believed made them invulnerable to bullets - an impression re-enforced by ganja, heroine, crack cocaine and gallons of sweet palm wine. In 1999 a twelve man patrol of Royal Irish Rangers, who were training government troops in Sierra Leone, were captured and held hostage by the West Side Boys. They were held prisoner in a fortified jungle hideaway, with severed heads decorating the palisades, defended by some 400 heavily armed soldiers. Operation Barras, the rescue mission, was a combined force of 100 Paras, twelve members of the Special Boat Squadron, helicopters from the Navy and RAF and, spearheading the operation, 40-strong D squadron of the SAS.

Napoleon a bitka pri Marengu - Paul Liska
Paul Liska si v knihe Napoleon a bitka pri Marengu dal za cieľ ,, porozprávať o fascinujćich udalostiach, ktoré sa odohrali pri Marengu v roku 1800, keď Napoleon svojim dôvtipom a schopnosťou analyzovať situáciu na bojovom poli zvíťazil nad veľkolepými protivníkmi.“ Autor ďalej uvádza: ,,Ako sme sa presvedčili, francúzske výboje pozostávali nielen z vojen, ale aj z mierových premien štátov a spoločnosti v Európe. Boli začiatkom buržoáznej revolúcie, vzdialenej od starej stavovskej spoločnosti a starých kráľovských mocností. Ide o trvalé úspechy francúzskej revolúcie a napoleonskej éry. Dlhodobo pôsobili na mier a vojny, štát a spoločnosť, zákony a cirkev a podpísali sa na celosvetovom vývoji. Stačí spomenúť demokraciu, parlamentarizmus, ľudskú slobodu a ľudské práva, trhovú ekonomiku a právny štát. Išlo o revolúciu za nezávislosť, ktorá odštartovala v celom svete aj za cenu mnohých vojen, útrap a krvi. Táto revolúcia za nezávislosť funguje po celom svete. Ideál o slobode, rovnosti a bratstve odvtedy neutíchol.

Napoleon Bonaparte - Jakub Samek
Napoleon Bonaparte. Vstupuje do světových dějin současně s vypuknutím francouzské revoluce, které slouží, kterou ovládne a kterou ukončí, aby se korunoval císařem a vedl dobyvačné války… nebo ne? V každém případě patří mezi velké postavy dějin a zaslouží si, abychom mu věnovali pozornost. Ostatně, má-li dodnes své "nepřátele", je i v jejich zájmu jej studovat, poznávat a svým způsobem i oceňovat jeho kvality, protože lesk vítězství se na prvním místě měří velikostí poraženého protivníka. Předkládaná kniha je souborem vybraných textů publikovaných na webech Security Magazínu a Projektu Austerlitz v posledních letech. Jejich společným jmenovatelem jsou životní osudy Napoleona a jeho současníků především z hlediska dobového vojenství, protože přese vše byl Napoleon na prvním místě vojákem a vojevůdcem.

Napoleon - Alexandre Dumas - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Alexandre Dumas starší byl vypravěčským mistrem. Jeho romány jsou nadčasové, stále čtenářsky atraktivní. Je méně známé, že nepsal pouze fikce, ale vytvořil také několik životopisů skutečných historických osobností. Jeho zřejmě nejznámější biografií je životopis Napoleona Bonaparta. Slavný spisovatel se s ním jako malý chlapec dvakrát osobně setkal. Jeho otec s ním jako republikánský generál bojoval při italském tažení a v Egyptě. Dumasův „Napoleon“ je barvitým a napínavým čtením. Popisuje císařovo dětství, vojenské počátky, armádní tažení i nejslavnější války. Vrcholem biografie je popis tří známých bitev: u Slavkova, Borodina a u Waterloo. „Napoleon“ není suchopárným vypravováním se záplavou zbytečných letopočtů. Jde o strhující knihu zasvěceného vypravěče, který Bonaparta kritizuje i obdivuje. Dumasovo mistrovství stvořilo portrét muže, na jehož osud už svět neměl nikdy zapomenout.

Napoleon - Život císaře - Mike Lepine
Napoleon povstal z chaosu a hrůz Francouzské revoluce, aby nabídl rozvrácenému národu sny o budoucí slávě, cti a opětovném postavení v čele Evropy. Poté, co se díky směsici propagandy a zmanipulovaných voleb chopil moci, vedla Napoleonova vojska zdánlivě nekonečnou válku po celé Evropě, od Portugalska až po carské Rusko. Mnoho stovek tisíc lidí zemřelo v bitvách nebo na nemoci a hlad. Samotná Francie ztratila během každého roku Napoleonovy vlády v průměru 50 000 vojáků. Napoleon tvrdil, že prosazuje svobodomyslné hodnoty revoluce, aby osvobodil kontinent, ale pak se nechal korunovat císařem, zahájil kroky k obnovení dědičné monarchie a nechal znovu zavést otroctví v celé Francouzské říši. Bohatě ilustrovaný nový životopis autora bestsellerů Mikea Lepina nabízí svěží a nezapomenutelný portrét skutečné vojenské legendy.

Napoleon Bonaparte a jeho soupeři - Stanislav Wintr
Kniha se zabývá životními vývojem Napoleonovy kariéry postavené na jeho schopnosti vést vítězné války, a zejména osudy protivníků Napoleona Bonaparta. Autor se snažil přiblížit čtenářům ty osobnosti, s nimiž se Napoleon při svém vzestupu a pádu setkal. Nejsou tu zdaleka všichni, jen ti, s nimiž se střetl především vojensky, a dále ti, kteří s korunou na hlavě ovlivňovali vojensky a politicky Napoleonův osud. Kniha je členěna do období podle toho, jak se vyvíjela kariéra velkého Korsičana a s jakými osobnostmi se dostal v těchto letech do konfrontace. S některými z nich se Napoleon setkal v průběhu doby vícekrát a jejich medailony jsou proto zařazeny do období, ve kterém se Napoleonův protivník projevil nejvýrazněji.

Severní Korea a dynastie Kimů - Loretta Napoleoni
O Severní Koreji toho víme velmi málo a o vládnoucí dynastii Kimů ještě méně. Strohé zprávy z médií líčí zemi, uzavřenou před okolním světem, jako říši zla, která se chystá pomocí jaderných zbraní zničit celý okolní svět. Kniha Loretty Napoleoni proniká hlouběji do korejského systému a přináší informace, které nám mohou pomoci lépe porozumět tomu, proč je Severní Korea taková, jaká je. Severokorejský vůdce Kim Čong-un se jeví jako tyran, chvílemi směšný, chvílemi krvežíznivý, ale pokud jde o jeho výhrůžky a zda je schopen je naplnit, také nevyzpytatelný. Zkrátka, dle obecně zažitých konvencí je Severní Korea místo, kde se může stát cokoliv špatného, na co jen pomyslíme. Britsko-americká publicistka italského původu Loretta Napoleoni se ale snaží na shora zmíněná paradigmata nahlédnout nejen z jednoho úhlu pohledu, jehož východiskem jsou euro-americké principy demokracie. Neztotožňuje se s binárními definicemi jednoznačného dobra a zla, nýbrž pátrá, zda se věci opravdu mají tak, jak nám je líčí masová média. Její kniha je plná informací a svědectví diplomatů, disidentů a odborníků. Odpovědi na své otázky hledá v záhybech fascinujícího příběhu dvou Korejí, velkého konfliktu studené války, jenž zemi rozdělil, analyzuje excentrickou realitu severokorejského totalitarismu, snaží se pochopit myšlení národa, jehož každodennost ovlivňuje polonáboženská ideologie čučche, ...

Britain Against Napoleon - Roger Knight
From Roger Knight, established by the multi-award winning The Pursuit of Victory as ''an authority ... none of his rivals can match'' (N.A.M. Rodger), Britain Against Napoleon is the first book to explain how the British state successfully organised itself to overcome Napoleon - and how very close it came to defeatFor more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme in continental Europe. How was it that despite multiple changes of government and the assassination of a Prime Minister, Britain survived and eventually won a generation-long war against a regime which at its peak in 1807 commanded many times the resources and manpower?This book looks beyond the familiar exploits (and bravery) of the army and navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It shows the degree to which, because of the magnitude and intensity of hostilities, the capacities of the whole British population were involved: industrialists, farmers, shipbuilders, gunsmiths and gunpowder manufacturers. The intelligence war was also central; but no participants were more important, Knight argues, than the bankers and international traders of the City of London, without whom the armies of Britain''s allies could not have taken the field.ROGER KNIGHT was Deputy Director of the ...

Operation Biting - Max Hastings
Operation Biting was one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and probably the most successful. In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.Max Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the ‘boffin’ RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. ’Boy’ Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; ‘Colonel Remy’, the French secret agent whose men ...
