The product of twenty years of laborious hard work, this is the definitive work on Napoleon and his times at the helm of the French Nation, written by no less than the first President of the Third Republic.
Thiers moved in the highest circles of society and met with many of the surviving generals and statesmen of France and her opponents and wove their recollections into this monumental history. Filled with a particularly Gallic flavour without going into hero-worship, this multi-volume history has stood the test of time.
Volume Twelve is the final volume in the series and Napoleon’s final gamble leads to the end of his European career as the newest incarnation of the Grande Armée is wrecked on the battlefield of Waterloo.
Includes the Napoleonic Wars Map Pack with over 155 maps and plans following the military career of Napoleon.
