From Roger Knight, established by his multi-award winning book The Pursuit of Victory as 'an authority.. .none of his rivals can match' (N.A.M. Rodger), Britain Against Napoleon is the first book to explain how the British state successfully organised itself to overcome Napoleon
- & how very close it came to defeat. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme in continental Europe, & the British population lived in fear of French invasion. How was it that despite multiple changes of government & the assassination of a Prime Minister, Britain survived & won a generation-long war against a regime which at its peak in 1807 commanded many times the resources & manpower? This book looks beyond the familiar exploits of the army & navy to the politicians & civil servants, & examines how they made it possible to continue the war at all. It shows the degree to which, as the demands of the war remorselessly grew, the whole British population had to play its part. The intelligence war was also central. Yet no participants were more important, Roger Knight argues, than the bankers & traders of the City of London, without whose financing the armies of Britain's allies could not have taken the field. The Duke of Wellington famously said that the battle which finally defeated Napoleon was 'the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life': this book shows how true that was for the Napoleonic War as a whole. Roger Knight was Deputy Director of the National Maritime Museum until 2000, & now teaches at the Greenwich Maritime Institute at the University of Greenwich. In 2005 he published, with Allen Lane/ Penguin, The Pursuit of Victory: The Life & Achievement of Horatio Nelson, which won the Duke of Westminster's Medal for Military History, the Mountbatten Award & the Anderson Medal of the Society for Nautical Research. The present book is a culmination of his life-long interest in the workings of the late 18th-century British state.

Britain And Ireland NGS Classic Wall Map ENCAPSULATED

British Isles at 1:1, 687, 000 on a small wall map, 61 x 76cm (1’11” x 2’5” approx) - encapsulated version, from the National Geographic Society showing the constituent parts of the United Kingdom, Irish Republic, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Shetland Islands are shown on an inset.The map uses NGS’s classic presentation style of white background plus relief shading to show the topography, with boundaries shown in colour. Within Great Britain, national parks are prominently highlighted. Names of many geographical regions are shown (The Wolds, South Downs, etc.); county boundaries are marked, but county names are indicated only by numbers cross-referenced to lists of counties and unitary authorities in England, with corresponding lists for Scotland, Wales,
Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 1°.* This title is also available on paper without the encapsulation.*LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:*- *laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- *encapsulated* wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- *please note:* many publishers and retailers often use these two terms
interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
