Description
The Battle for Supremacy: A New Perspective on Napoleon and Wellington A fresh look at one of history's most famous rivalries, this biography presents a revisionist view of the relationship between two of its greatest captains. Andrew Roberts explores the complex and often contradictory nature of their interactions, from private praise to public derision. Born in the same year, Napoleon and Wellington were destined for greatness - or so it seemed. While Napoleon fought by proxy years earlier in the Peninsular War, Wellington publicly lauded his presence on a battlefield as worth forty thousand men. Yet, behind closed doors, Wellington wrote scathing memoranda about Napoleon's campaigning techniques. This book offers a nuanced understanding of two men who shaped the course of history, and whose rivalry continues to fascinate us today.
