Napoleon and His Marshals: Victory, Rivalry, Betrayal
Join acclaimed historian Lord Andrew Roberts for a fascinating look at the men who helped build â and ultimately unravel â Napoleon Bonaparteâs empire. In his new book, Napoleon and His Marshals, Roberts brings to life the extraordinary generals who served at Napoleonâs side, from the courageous Ney and flamboyant Murat to the tenacious MassĂ©na, iron-willed Davout, and meticulous Berthier.
In 1804, Napoleon created the Marshalate, the highest military honor of the French Empire, and over the next decade elevated 26 of his most accomplished generals to the rank. Roberts explores their personalities, ambitions, rivalries, and complex relationships with their emperor, revealing how Napoleonâs leadership both inspired fierce loyalty and fueled destructive competition among his marshals. Ultimately, only two of the 26 would ride beside him at Waterloo.
Drawing on years of scholarship on Napoleon and his era, Roberts offers a dramatic and richly detailed portrait of the men whose military brilliance helped create Napoleonâs extraordinary empire â and whose rivalries helped bring it down.
