Publisher's Summary

The Generals is the compelling second novel in Simon Scarrow's best-selling Wellington and Napoleon quartet.

In the turbulent aftermath of the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte stands accused of treachery and corruption. His reputation is saved by his skill in leading his men to victory in Italy and Egypt. But then he must restore order in France and find peace or victory over her enemies: England and Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington).

Wellesley is leading a vast army in India, where British interests are under threat. The campaign will result in the creation of the Raj - the jewel in the British Empire's crown. Wellesley returns to England a hardened veteran and more determined than ever to end France's domination of Europe. Both Wellesley and Napoleon intend to win - whatever the cost. Who will ultimately succeed?

What an entertaining way to learn history

#Audible1 I have listened to the first two books in this series and found the stories of these remarkable men utterly fascinating. There is definitely more Napoleon story than Wellington, but I suppose that may change as the story continues. I have always been interested in this period of history, and it is easy to see how it shaped all that came after. If you are a fan of Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe series, then this will be right up your street. I strongly recommend it.
