Resisting Napoleon (eBook, ePUB)

The British Response to the Threat of Invasion, 1797-1815
Redaktion: Philp, Mark

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The long war with Revolutionary France had a fundamental impact on British political culture. The most dramatic example of this is the mass mobilization of the British people in response to French invasion threats, particularly in the period 1803-5 when Napoleon began massing an invasion fleet. Focusing on this crucial two-year period, this volume examines events and puts them into the context of the wider war (1798-1815).
