As they march into Poland, an exhausted Grand Armeé must battle both enemies and the elements in this epic adventure of the Napoleonic Wars. Poland, 1807: Sergeant Alain Lausard and his loyal dragoons have never known a campaign like it. Already spent from their victory over Prussia, they must now march into Poland and battle General Bennigsen’s Russian troops. And the Tsar is not the only enemy that must be overcome: country and climate conspire to make conditions impossible. The Grande Armeé may be renowned for its ability to move with speed and purpose, but as torrential rain turns Polish roads to quagmires, they face a battle-hardened foe just as their strength reaches its lowest ebb. Perhaps not even Bonaparte’s tactical brilliance will be enough to save Lausard and his men from a deadly debacle . . .

As Napoleon prepares to invade Prussia, a war-weary sergeant is pushed to his limit in this epic military adventure series. France, 1806. Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Armeé is poised for war.

When Prussia refuses to comply with Bonaparte’s demands that they surrender and form an alliance against England, war becomes inevitable. Sergeant Alain Lausard and his war-weary squadron of dragoons have been through many epic battles under Napoleon’s command. They would do anything for their great leader. But as they prepare to enter into yet another bloody campaign that will feature battles at Jena and Auerstadt, their loyalties are stretched to the limit . . .

A cavalry officer roots out conspirators in Paris as Napoleon mounts his fateful coup in this epic historical novel. France, 1799: As corruption spreads through the ruling Directory and rebels terrorize the countryside, the ideals of the Revolution seem far away. Napoleon Bonaparte returns from Egypt determined to restore order—and take control. Recalled to Paris to buttress their commander’s political ambitions, Alain Lausard and his heroic cavalry unit look on as Bonaparte stages a coup d’état. With Bonaparte under pressure to make peace with France’s enemies abroad, Lausard’s dragoons are reduced to flushing out enemies hiding in the gutters of Paris. When Bonaparte prepares to reclaim lost territory in Italy, Lausard is relieved. He owes his freedom to Bonaparte—and only through war can he contain the guilt he still feels for fleeing his family during The Terror. As the French cavalry crosses the Alps, Lausard’s men will face their most daunting challenge yet . . .

Napoleon’s mighty army face the inferno of the Egyptian desert in this thrilling historical adventure, the sequel to Bonaparte’s Sons. France, 1798. Seventeen thousand French troops leave Toulon harbor in May, unaware of their ultimate destination. Barely three months after taking Rome, Napoleon Bonaparte has rewarded his finest regiments with a place among the Army of the Orient, bound for Egypt. Alain Lausard and his cavalry unit are on board the frigate L’Esperance. Their first battle is merely to survive the degradation that is life at sea. By the time they stagger, starved and exhausted, upon the shores of Egypt, Lausard’s dragoons have more than glory to fight for. As his beleaguered soldiers march into the desert, Bonaparte watches his tactical gamble collapse. Even when the Mameluke army is defeated beneath the pyramids, Admiral Nelson’s destruction of the French fleet and Bonaparte’s obsessive war-mongering convince Lausard that he will never see Paris again . . .

This book, originally published in 1978, argues that there was no ‘turning-point’ in Bonaparte’s career, but rather a consistent pattern from beginning to end. As a commander Bonaparte’s forte was speed and aggressiveness. As a planner, however he was slapdash: his armies starved and went barefoot. The author argues that far from being a master of concentration of force on the battlefield, he was again and again caught with his army dispersed and only rescued from disaster by the last-minute arrival of reinforcements.
