Riley uses the events of 1813 and the Napoleonic wars to examine the nature of coalitions. He discusses the wars of 1813 as they were fought in Central Europe, Spain, the Mediterranean, and America. He considers both the military nature of the conflicts and their political consequences, drawing analogies to more recent events. Riley is a regular officer in the British Army and a member of the Society for Army Historical Research. Name index only. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c.
