Marengo - The Myth of Napoleon's Horse (Paperback, New ed)

The moving story of Marengo, ‘Bonaparte’s personal charger’ and ‘favourite horse’, whose career spanned the whole of the Napoleonic Wars.

'Jill Hamilton has done some wonderful detective work, and written a gem of a book suggesting a side to Bonaparte not previously explored. Hamilton tracks the Napoleonic horses through all the campaigns, and lays bare the myths, yet in a way that leaves the reader enthralled still by the thought of Bonaparte’s criss-crossing Europe on the back of a horse no bigger than a pony.'
