NAPOLEONIC LIBRARY: WITH NAPOLEON’S GUNS The Military Memoirs of an Officer of the First Empire

£3.99

An engaging and highly readable account of life in Napoleon’s army as seen through the eyes of an artillery officer August Noel. In addition to providing a valuable insight into what life was really like for the men at the sharp end of Napoleon’s ambitions. From the optimism of the early years in Italy , through the privations of the retreat from Moscow and the horrors of the Battle of Leipzig to the disillusionment of the Emperor s defeat at Waterloo, Noël charts both his personal career and, at close hand, the rise and fall of the First Empire with frankness.
