"In February 1793 France declared war on Britain and Holland. The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars that raged for the next twenty-two years saw European powers manoeuvring for mercantile and political advantage in a complex and ever-changing web of alliances and coalitions. By 1815 the world was a different place."--Back cover.
