This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F. Lorraine Petre was at the forefront of a number of British historians who wrote at the turn of the 20th Century who advanced the knowledge, understanding of Napoleonic times and warfare hugely. Petre wrote a number of books on the subject, particularly because of the dearth of information focusing on Napoleon’s “lesser-known” campaigns, with a depth of research unheard of at the time. His writings have stood the test of time and have been re-printed a number of times, as recently as the last ten years. In this book his second in his series, shines the spotlight of the Napoleon’s quest to vanquish his last remaining continental enemy, Russia. Having smashed Prussia in 1806, Napoleon eagerly sought out his Russian opponents, however his tactics of lightning advances and strategic envelopment founded in the mud and cold of Poland. Extended over a vast area, his troops acutely suffered from shortages and played a deadly game of cat and mouse with the last of the Prussian forces under Lestocq whilst waiting for the thaw that would enable them to come to grips with the enemy. As it transpired they did not have to wait as long as they might have imagined, fighting the bloody slugging match in the snow with the Russians at Eylau and although they held the field, it was a field covered by their own comrades’ corpses. After another brutal but more successful engagement at Heilsberg, during which the Russians lost heavily, Napoleon finally ran his quarry to the ground at Friedland. After a sterling delaying action by Lannes’ corps and supporting cavalry under Grouchy, Napoleon found his opponent pinned with his back to a river. After an abortive attack by Marshal Ney, General Sènarmont drove a battery of thirty guns into canister range of the Russian centre leaving a red ruin, and allowing a victory for the French turn into a bloody rout for the Russians as many drowned trying to reach their lines on the other side of the river. The peace of Tilsit was to be signed soon after, marking arguably the highpoint of the French Empire. Author – Francis Lorraine Petre OBE - (1852–1925)
Download or read book Napoleon and Other Poems Classic Reprint written by Bernard Barton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon, and Other Poems With regard to the sentiments expressed in the poem on the subject of war; the author rather wishes to submit them to the indulgence of his readers, and respectfully to request for them their serious reflection, than argumentatively to attempt their defence. He admits them to be the sentiments of one to whom all war, under the Christian dispensation, is unlawful. But as this opinion is the avowed and well-known tenet of a religious society, with which he has never concealed his own connexion, and whose faith and doctrine on this important topic is cordially assented to by him; he can hardly conceive it possible for what he has written either to excite surprise, or to give offence. That war is an evil, is perhaps one of those truisms which require no elaborate demonstration. That it is incompatible with the mild and beneficent spirit of the Gospel, perhaps none, who rightly estimate and truly feel the influence of that spirit, will deny.

Download or read book Europe written by Norman Davies and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 1428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Ice Age to the Cold War and beyond, from Reykjavik to Riga, from Archimedes to Einstein, Alexander to Yeltsin, here between the covers of a single volume Norman Davies tells the story of Europe, East and West, from prehistory to the present day. The book's absorbing narrative lays down the chronological and geographical grid on which the dramas of European history have been played out. It zooms in from the distant focus of Chapter One, which explores the first five million years of the continent's evolution, to the close focus of the lasttwo chapters, which cover the twentieth century at roughly one page per year. In between, Norman Davies presents a huge and sweeping canvas packed with fascinating detail, analysis, and anecdote. Alongside Europe's better-known stories - human, national, and continental - he brings into focus areasoften ignored or misunderstood, remembering the stateless nation as well as the nation-state. Minority communities, from heretics and lepers to Jews, Romanies, and Muslims have not been forgotten. This masterly history reveals not only the rich variety of Europe's past but also the many and rewarding prisms through which it can be viewed. Each chapter contains a selection of telephoto 'capsules', illustrating narrower themes and topics that cut across the chronological flow. Davies thenconcludes with a wide-angle 'snapshot' of the whole continent as seen from one particular vantage point. The overall effect is stunning: a kind of historical picture album, with panoramic tableaux interspersed by detailed insets and close-ups. Never before has such an ambitious history of Europe been attempted. In range and ambition, the originality of its structure and glittering style, Norman Davies's Europe represents one of the most important and illuminating history books to be published by Oxford. Time Capsules 201 fascinating articles interspersed throughout the narrative focus on incidents or topics as various as The Iceman of the Alps, Erotic Graffiti at Pompeii, Stradivarius, and Psychoanalysing Hitler. Each capsule can be tasted as a separate self-contained morsel; or can be read in conjunction withthe narrative into which it is inserted. Snapshots 12 panoramic overviews across the changing map of Europe freeze the frames of the chronological narrative at moments of symbolic importance, such as Knossos 1628 BC, Constantinople AD 330, and Nuremberg 1945. A fully illustrated history Incorporates over 100 superbly detailed maps and diagrams, and 32 pages of black and white plates.

Download or read book Napoleon Against Russia written by Thomas Miller Maguire and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon Against Russia: The Campaign of 1806-1807, December to June On the passions, and on the endeavours of these men, one verse of an old song, one inspiriting phrase of an ardent hero, one fanatic invocation to Allah, one reminiscence of international hate, one glance of a good and lovely, or even of an unprincipled and leering female eye, would produce more potent influences than would all the calculations of all the philosophers from Democritus to Darwin. From the ancient fortresses of Byzantium to the home of Virgil by the Eridanus, from the wall of Hadrian in North Britain to the gate of the Holy War in Servia, and to that plain where Gustavus Adolphus the Swede, at the beginning of a new era of European civilisation, taught a new art of war through all peoples as dissimilar as the Italians, and Bavarians, and Spanish, who fought for him, and the Scandinavians, and Britons, and Cossacks, who fought against him in North Germany, the name of the Corsican was everything - everything to British seamen, to the Hetman of the Don, the ambassador of the Shah, the Prussian student, the Hungarian hussar. Nor, indeed, did Napoleon ever occupy a more prominent place in the minds of men than to-day, a hundred years after he reached the Maine on his march to the ruin of Prussia.
