Book ID/图书代码： 03275006B01419
English Summary/英文概要： The War of Wars is the thrilling narrative of the twenty two years struggle between the two great powers of Europe: England and France. Through the story of battles, politics and diplomacy of the era, Robert Harvey brings to life for the very first time the men who changed the course of modern history for, from the furnace of the Napoleonic Wars, the modern world of the nineteenth century was born.
At the turn of the 18th century the greatest nations in Europe, separated by only 21 miles of water, offered history two distinct ideals that would shape the new century: England was a democratic, constitutional monarchy; while France had suffered the cataclysm of Revoltion which ripped the absolute King from the throne and replaced him with the Mob. Out of this maelstrom emerged a military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte,commander of the revolutionary army, who would conquer Italy and Egypt before returning to Pairs to proclaim himself Emperor. As Napoleon gained power in France, the world stood on the brink of total war.
Following a lightening series of conquests throughout Europe, by 1805 the General was making plans to cross the channel and invade England. The subsequent drama reaches from the frozen plains surrounding Moscow to the Caribbean waters, from the debating chambeer of the Parliament to the muddy fields of Waterloo. The Great French Wars(1793-1815)can truly be called the first global war;it was also the first conflict driven by industrial might.Most of all it was a battle between commanders that History will never forget;as Napoleon’s revolutionary guard ravaged Europe,men like the Duke of Wellington, Horatio Nelson as well as their allies, Duke Charles of Hapsburg and Gebhard von Blucher stopped his complete domination of the continent.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： The War of Wars讲述了两个强大的欧洲国家：英国和法国间经历了22年的战争。通过这个关于战争，政治和外交的故事，Robert Harvey把改变历史的人物介绍给我们——19世纪的拿破伦战争。
18世纪欧洲最强大的国家——英国是君主制国家，同时，法国正在遭受着一场革命，推翻君主的绝对统治地位的革命。一个军队领导者拿破伦冲出了这个旋涡，他是革命党的司令官，他在战胜了意大利和埃及后回到法国宣布他就是君主。当拿破伦在法国得到权利后，全世界都站在了战争的边缘。
在挑起一系列在欧洲的战争后，1805年这位将军又将目标瞄向了海峡对岸的英国。之后战争又从莫斯科到加勒比海，从国会的争辩到滑铁卢惨败。法国战争(1793-1815) 可以说是真正意义上的第一次世界性战争，历史是不会忘记战争中的军官们，拿破伦和他的革命军掠强了整个欧洲。
