About this listen

The Napoleonic Wars saw fighting on an unprecedented scale in Europe and the Americas. It took the wealth of the British Empire, combined with the might of the continental armies, almost two decades to bring down one of the world's greatest military leaders and the empire that he had created. Napoleon's ultimate defeat was to determine the history of Europe for almost 100 years. From the frozen wastelands of Russia, through the brutal fighting in the Peninsula to the blood-soaked battlefield of Waterloo, this book tells the story of the dramatic rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire.

Great narration for this top class book about the broader context and geopolitics of the great 19th century conflict. A thorough dissection of the events that would lead surely to European and American global hegemony for the next 200 years.

This is a remarkable time in European history and understanding it helps makes sense of the early part of the 20th - puts WW 1 and WW2 into context.

I don’t mean this as a criticism because the book is very very good. But at over 30 hours it became a bit of a slog. I get that this is necessary to cover the depth of detail - but you might have to hunker down.

Thorough account of the Napoleonic wars.
