{"product_id":"9781041126805","title":"Napoleon and his British Captives by Michael Lewis","description":"Napoleon - arguably more than any other single man - was the creator of modern total war; and in this book, originally published in 1962, he is seen creating one important side of it - that which concerns prisoners of war. In sheer numbers, the Royal Navy, the Merchant Navy and the Army were the principal victims. In one respect the book is a study in naval, maritime and military history, but its scope is wider than this: Michael Lewis discusses both principles and people as he examines the conventions of `exchange' and `parole' shattered by Napoleon. The conditions of capture and captivity are discussed, as well as escapes from prisons and camps.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419731308917,"sku":"9781041126805","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041126805.jpg?v=1764601105","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041126805","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
