In this issue, we are giving away three copies of No More Napoleons by Andrew Lambert.

Following the Napoleonic Wars, a fragile peace emerged in Europe. But, after decades of conflict, Britain’s economy was crippled by debt. Andrew Lambert shows how British policymakers – through a wily defence policy and the use of naval power – rebuilt the country’s finances and established military dominance around the globe.

No More Napoleons is the remarkable story of how one country kept a whole continent in check – until the collapse of this delicately balanced order at the outset of World War I.

This issue, three lucky winners will each receive a copy of the book, courtesy of Yale University Press.

To find out more about the publisher, please visit the website https://yalebooks.co.uk.

For a chance of winning, simply answer the following question: How many coalitions of anti-French European powers did it finally take to defeat Napoleon? Enter online at www.military-history.org.
