T. Headley was born at the very end of the convulsive period of the French revolution and Napoleonic Wars that followed, and wrote a number of volumes on the French army and its leadership of the period. An admirer of the equality and liberty that Napoleon and the Napoleonic Myth expounded, Headley takes an interesting and entertaining view of Napoleon and his Marshals. The glittering array of military talent available to Napoleon, was formed by the upsurge in manpower revolutionary leve?e en masse and the egalitarian principals. Whilst not an absolute meritocracy, a great number of Generals and indeed Marshals came from humble backgrounds.In this volume, the author charts the careers ofNapoleon, Marshals Murat, Lefebvre, Massena, Marmont, Victor, Brune, Oudinot, Bessie?res, Jourdan, Bernadotte, Suchet, Poniatowski, Grouchy and Ney 410 0$aNapoleon and his Marshals 517 $aNapoleon and his Marshals 606 $aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815$7Generated by AI 606 $aFrance$7Generated by AI 615 0$aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815. 615 0$aFrance. 676 $a940.27 700 $aHeadley$b Joel Tyler$0811026 701 $aPublishing$b Pickle Partners$01077764 712 02$aPickle Partners Publishing,$4clb 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164254403321 996 $aNapoleon and his Marshals - Vol I$93402042 997 $aUNINA
