BRITAIN AGAINST NAPOLEON: THE ORGANIZATION OF VICTORY 1793-1815
by Roger Knight
Published by Allen Lane. 1st. 2013
Nearly fine condition in a very good dustwrapper. 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 far greater resources and manpower? The Duke of Wellington famously said that the battle which finally defeated Napoleon was 'the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life': this book shows how true that was for the Napoleonic War as a whole. Dark grey boards, white title to spine. Pictorial endpapers. Colour & b/w illustrations.
Board edges lightly bumped. Text block slightly grubby and dusty else contents fine. Pictorial dustwrapper is scuffed to rear panel and has a small tear with slight loss to lower front edge.
