1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. How Britannia Prevailed over NapoleonBy Albert A. NofiAn excerpt from the review on StrategyPage.Com'This is not just about “hard†power; that is the Royal Navy and; as time went on; the British Army; but also about Britain’s arguably more important “soft†power; in the form of policy; diplomacy; finance; and even special operations. Neither a diplomatic history of the wars nor a military one; the reader will find much of both between its covers. But the reader will also learn a great deal about British domestic politics and how they shaped policy and strategy.'One of the most interesting parts of the book is the discussion of finance as a tool of war and diplomacy that runs through the whole of it; so we gain an understanding of how the British managed to never run out of money; despite expending sums that even seem staggering; and also how those pounds bought allies and armies that led to the final fall of Napoleon.'For the full review; see StrategyPage.Com
