But how did this period of nearly continuous conflict affect the world beyond Europe? The immensity of the fighting waged by France against England, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and the immediate consequences of the tremors that spread throughout the world. In this ambitious and far-ranging work, Alexander Mikaberidze argues that the Napoleonic Wars can only be fully understood in an international perspective. France struggled for dominance not only on the plains of Europe but also in the Americas, West and South Africa, Ottoman Empire, Iran, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Taking specific regions in turn, Mikaberidze discusses major political-military events around the world and situates geopolitical decision-making within its long- and short-term contexts. From the British expeditions to Argentina and South Africa to the Franco-Russian maneuvering in the Ottoman Empire, the effects of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars would shape international affairs well into the next century. In Egypt, the wars led to the rise of Mehmed Ali and the emergence of a powerful state; in North America, the period transformed and enlarged the newly established United States; and in South America, the Spanish colonial empire witnessed the start of national-liberation movements that ultimately ended imperial control. Skillfully narrated and deeply researched, here at last is the global history of the period, one that expands our view of the Napoleonic Wars and their role in laying the foundations of the modern world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 6.5 x 2.25 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 0199951063 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0199951062 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 960 pages | | Publication Date | February 10, 2020 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | ## Images ![The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UUBq4jWkL.jpg) ![The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91la-55ENqL.jpg) ![The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81E8TieTQBL.jpg) ![The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PYXqhkQzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Global Overview of the Napoleonic Era *by on Reviewed in the United States August 17, 2020* This is an outstanding book if you're interested in the Napoleonic Era, by far the best I know of for its global reach, and perceptive insights into the reverberations of the era throughout the nineteenth century until today. The book I read, a first printing, is full of typos, shame on the OUP, but not a major hindrance to enjoying a major work of scholarship by young historian I hope writes more of equal quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive narrative of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars *by on Reviewed in the United States July 9, 2021* This is an impressive work. It does not provide groundbreaking information, but it does exhaust the secondary sources of the period, nicely supplemented with some primary archival material. So, the expert looking for new information in a narrow field might be disappointed. However, even for the advanced student of the period, this is a very useful volume as it provides a global linkage of events. Even the specialist will find the bibliography useful, with its generous use of so many foreign language sources. The book is not for the faint of heart, but the individual who has expertise in a specialized field will find it useful, as will any serious student of the period. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My kingdom for an editor... *by on Reviewed in the United States February 25, 2021* This really was a fascinating read and should frankly be a five-star book. It paints a broad picture of the global effects of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars without getting too lost in details. As such, I highly recommend it to those new to the Napoleonic Wars as well as those thoroughly invested in the subject.Unfortunately, Oxford University Press did the author a huge disservice with their dismal editing. On average, I found myself getting distracted by grammatical errors probably every two or three pages. Lots of missing words, extra words, and grammatical number errors throughout the text. The editing is downright inexcusable. As such, I can only give it a four out of five. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/185504137-the-napoleonic-wars-a-global-history](https://www.desertcart.be/products/185504137-the-napoleonic-wars-a-global-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
