Hilt, Douglas TEN AGAINST NAPOLEON
Chicago Nelson-Hall 1975 0 88229 253 6 / 9780882292533 First Edition
Hardcover, NEAR FINE/VERY GOOD PLUS, dj has minor wear to top extremities, 8vo. Burgundy leatherette, pictorial dust jacket. xxix, 209pp. Illustrations. Tight, bright copy. Ten Against Napoleon is a book about extraordinary men and women in an extraordinary era. Each of the ten was supremely gifted and proved a worthy foil for the dominant figure of the age. As an elderly statesman at the apogee of his powwer, Metternich complained bitterly that "all the stir of today is made by men of pitiable stamp. It is hard indeed to play well with such poor actors,". Small wonder--he had been hopelessly spoiled by the overwhelming drama of earlier years, matching wits with Napoleon in the company of a brilliant cast of adversaries.
