The Generals (Wellington and Napoleon 2)
The Generals (Wellington and Napoleon 2): (Revolution 2) | Simon Scarrow
1 post | 1 to read
THE GENERALS is the compelling second novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Wellington and Napoleon quartet. A must read for fans of Bernard Cornwell. 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?

Slightly different take on #India, thought I‘d share the first 3 books in the Sharpe series that all take place in India (before his time on the European Peninsular) and the second book in the wonderful Wellington and Napoleon quartet by Simon Scarrow. Loved The Generals in which we learn about Wellington‘s early exploits in India. All highly recommended. #LetsTravelJuly

Itchyfeetreader Love the Simon Scarrow quartet (the Sharpes not so much although if at home I would post a picture of the Sharpe Society bookmark I picked up as a joke for my husband years ago and never gave to him!) 5y
Andrew65 @Itchyfeetreader I own the Sharon books - all of them, but still only read 4 of them. They are okay but not 5 star books. I blame Sean Bean! 5y
TheEllieMo @Andrew65 mmmm, Sean Bean......❤️ 5y
