Following Elite 115 – which described the composition of Napoleon’s military and civil ‘households’, and Marshal Berthier’s army general headquarters – this title offers an intimate glimpse of the Emperor’s entourage in the field during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Centred on the Waterloo campaign in 1815, it draws comparisons with his earlier triumphs. From the testimony of his trusted servants, the text draws a vivid picture of his daily routines on the march. Of particular interest are new details of Napoleon’s tented camp HQ from 1812; and a further selection of the striking uniforms worn by his closest attendants.

Author: David A. Bell
Narrator: Trenton Bennett

The twentieth century is usually seen as "the century of total war." But as the historian David A. Bell argues in this landmark work, the phenomenon actually began much earlier, in the era of muskets, cannons, and sailing ships-in the age of Napoleon. In a sweeping, evocative narrative, Bell takes us from campaigns of "extermination" in the blood-soaked fields of western France to savage street fighting in ruined Spanish cities to central European battlefields where tens of thousands died in a single day. Between 1792 and 1815, Europe plunged into an abyss of destruction.
