Simon Scarrow's four classic novels based on the lives of the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte are published together in one superb-value ebook volume not to be missed by readers of Bernard Cornwell. Arthur, Duke of Wellington, and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte were adversaries on an epic scale. Across Europe and beyond, the armies of Great Britain and France clashed, from the Iberian Peninsula to India, from Austerlitz to the final confrontation at Waterloo. What drove the two clever, ambitious, determined men who masterminded these military campaigns? How did the underdog from Corsica develop the strategic military skills and the political cunning that gave him power over swathes of Europe? And how did Wellington, born to be a leader, hone his talents and drive an army to victory after victory? From an outstanding historian and novelist come four epic novels, now available in one volume for the first time, which tell the full story of both these men, from their very early days till the momentous battle at Waterloo which decided the future of Europe.

"Asked who was the greatest general of his day, Wellington replied: 'In this age, in past ages, in any age, Napoleon'. But admiration was not mutual. On the eve of Waterloo, Napoleon said of his rival: 'C'est un mauvais general'." "Napoleon's underestimation of Wellington is one of the undercurrents to General Strawson's brilliant narrative as he presents us with a dual portrait of two great military geniuses. Considerable attention however is also paid to their amorous exploits as an illustration of character. For twenty years or so, the destinies of Europe were dominated by the military and political ambitions of Napoleon Bonaparte. Exploiting the violent upheavals and patriotic ardour of Revolutionary France, Napoleon defeated the armies of Austria, Prussia and Russia time after time. Only England and the Royal Navy stood between him and absolute world power. England's defiance was personified by Pitt and Nelson and later by a rejuvenated British Army under Wellington." "Wellington and Napoleon were exact contemporaries, born in the same year. While Napoleon played for colossal stakes and soared like an eagle - his own symbol - to unimaginable heights, only to plunge to nothingness when he was forty-six, Wellington, the archetypal English gentleman, soldier, statesman, diplomatist, went on and on from Commander-in-Chief to Prime Minister, to Pillar of State and major domo of England." "The two men met but once on the field of battle and then between them they determined the fate of Europe. In an original and extremely perceptive analysis of their respective careers, General Strawson tells us which of them played the greater part in history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

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' Observer On 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 trophies of his great victory, even sleeping with two of the Emperor's mistresses.
