Napoleon's bulletins are of immense historical significance, reporting as they do on all the key battles of the Napoleonic Wars. These significant reports reveal not only a great deal about the Napoleonic period but also how Napoleon, that great master of propaganda, relayed history to his people. Presented for the first time complete in English, and supported by Markham's historical and biographical notes, the bulletins cover the key period between Austerlitz, in 1805, and Waterloo in 1815. The bulletins describe military operations, pick out distinguished officers and units and present Napoleon's own interpretation of battles lost or won. Indeed, these bulletins offer a brilliant insight into an early form of propaganda and highlight the way in which even defeats could be made to sound victorious. Imperial Glory is an important contribution to literature on the Napoleonic Wars and a fascinating book for any student of the wars or of Napoleon's influence in every aspect of empire-building.
