Napoleon’s Immortals
Andrew Uffindell
Publisher: SPELLMOUNT PUBLISHERS
Publication Date: 01/05/2007
Format: Hardback
Napoleon’s legendary veterans
There is the theory that any leader is only as good as his men. Napoleon, despite his defeat at Waterloo, was as respected as much as he was hated by his enemies. But what of the men who stood behind him? This groundbreaking new book reassesses the truth and destroys the myths surrounding the legendary prowess of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.
With a unique reputation for loyalty, courage and battlefield success, the Imperial Guard are among the most famous military elites of all time. Focusing on the Guard’s role as a crucial political pillar of Napoleon’s regime, their function as a patronage tool and the life of a Guardsman, the author sheds new light on Napoleon himself as well as contributing to the ongoing debate about the value of military elites.
Packed with new research on battles like Dresden (1813), the author expertly describes a controversial side to the men that fought for one of the most infamous leaders in history.
