Napoleon Bonaparte and the Wars of the Anti-French Coalitions

Napoleon Bonaparte and the Wars of the Coalitions follows Napoleon Bonaparte’s dramatic military career to tell the stirring story of the French people, led by Napoleon, fighting back against the combined forces of Europe’s great powers. What inevitable connection was there between France’s export of revolution and the formation of the coalitions against it? Why did major European monarchies such as the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire regard the French Revolution as a thorn in their side? How did the course of the French Revolution, the escalation of the coalition wars, and royalist revolts bring Napoleon Bonaparte onto the historical stage? How did he rise from First Consul of the French Republic to the imperial throne? What part did he play in the French army’s victories and defeats throughout the coalition wars? How did major events such as the invasion of Russia, the Battle of Leipzig, his first abdication, the Hundred Days, the Battle of Waterloo, and his second abdication affect France’s fate and its people? This book offers detailed answers.
