THAT is still sitting on the shelf in my old room at my parents' house. When the Kindle version was offered at just $0.99, I bought it. Through this book, I decided that I needed to read more biographies on just one Marshal at a time if I wanted to learn more about the Napoleonic War. Thus, I bought one on Davout and later on Ney. I visited their tombs in Paris.Perhaps the greatest miscarriage of justice in France was making Ney the scapegoat after Waterloo. The second would be the Dreyfus affair in 1905. That one is a different story in a different era with different characters and standards. There really is nothing redeeming in the French military aristocracy under the Bourbons and the Orleans dynasties from 1789 onwards. Meritocracy always trumps bad aristocracy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Unique writing style, different from most history books *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2020* AG Macdonell's writing style and editing of this book are like nothing I've ever seen in a history text before. The chapters are short and concise and ore importantly get to the point. Macdonell does this efficiently while writing in a style I would call humorous without sacrificing any historical facts. Even though the title suggests this might be a biography about the Marshals, it gives us Napoleon's reactions to several events and takes us through the entire Napoleonic Wars.Would highly recommend this to anyone. I'm only 1/4 of the way through but I really appreciate this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Informative, and Insightful *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2016* A. G. Macdonell's seminal opus is the exception to a rather substandard writing career. However, his deliberate effort and enthusiasm shines through with this extraordinary tale of high adventure. Told with a contagiously dashing prose, witty observations, and unapologetic humor, Macdonell brings the tensions of the times to life through his articulately sketched characters. And what characters they were! If Napoleon had generals with similar skill levels of those of either Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan, there's no telling how far his successes would have reached, nor how long they could have been sustained. But that's the point that Macdonell almost uniquely makes throughout his narrative thread: that an army that inherently relied on standouts from the Enlightenment for its glory was also undone by the same tenacity of spirit that engenders all rebels, pirates, and smugglers to return to their roots as individual crusaders led by their own motives. --- ## 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/30257964-napoleon-and-his-marshals-paperback-march-19-2014](https://www.desertcart.be/products/30257964-napoleon-and-his-marshals-paperback-march-19-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
