The Years of Endurance: 1793-1802 (Arthur Bryant Book 1)

Britain's first global war...as told by Britain's first great popular historian.

'The The Years of Endurance: 1793-1802' is one of the master-works of British narrative history. In his own peerless style, in the first of a three volume history of the Napoleonic Wars, Bryant tells the compelling story of the conflict with revolutionary France which began in 1793 and was to culminate with the battle of Waterloo.

Thought of by many as the first world war, fought over four continents and two oceans this war shaped the world for the next century.

For 22 years, starting in 1793, Britain was at war with France.

But the early years of the Napoleonic Wars were harsh ones for Britain, with the collapse of her allies, the Irish in rebellion, her fleets in mutiny and her finances in ruin.

Yet Bryant shows how strong leadership helped turn Britain's fortunes around, and how the nation rallied to defeat the French.

'The Years of Endurance' is the story of how the foundations of Britain's future victory were established.

'The Grand Old Man of British historical writing.' - The Spectator.
