Sobre este artículo
London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Limited, 2001. At breakfast 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 onverconfidence and massively underestimating the calibre of the British commander opposed to him. Now the award-winning historian Andrew Roberts presents an original, hghly revisionist view of the relationship between the two great captains of their age. Although Wellington saved Napoleon from execution after Waterloo, the emperor left money in his will to the man who had tried to assassinate the duke. Wellington in turn amassed a series of Napoleonic trophies of his great victory, even sleeping with two of the Emperor's mistresses. The fascinating, constantly changing relationship between these two historical giants forms the basis of Andrew Roberts' compelling study in pride, rivalry, propoganda, nostalgia and posthumous revenge. Illustrated. Price clipped.. Fourth Impression. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
