Description
Compelling fictional scenarios exploring how the Napoleonic Wars could have gone very differently.
This compelling alternate history, brilliantly written by fourteen leading international authors, presents the great maybes of the Napoleonic Wars. It focuses on some of the pivotal episodes of these catastrophic wars, giving them a resounding twist, and explores in detail an alternative sequence of historical events.
Rooted firmly in reality, and projected from entirely factual events, these dramatic and plausible possibilities are played out as though they actually happened in vivid and dramatic narratives. The Napoleon Options presents ten scenarios spanning the years between 1796 and 1815. These include a full-blown French invasion of Ireland, a very real danger in the 1790s; Napoleon’s successful conquest of Egypt and the Middle East; Junot’s victory at Vimerio; the Austrian invasion of Bavaria in 1809; the Russian success at Borodino; and what might have happened at Waterloo.
Among the additional contributions in this new extended edition are alternative outcomes to the battles of Essling, Austerlitz, Fuentes d Ooro, and New Orleans. These captivating scenarios colorfully illustrate how alternate results might have radically reshaped events, and demonstrate the far-reaching consequences minor changes could have had upon the future course of history.
