The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard

Über das Werk

"Brigadier Etienne Gerard is a Hussar in the French Army, in Napoleon's service. He's a vain man, believing in his own superiority in many things: being the bravest soldier, the greatest swordsman, and most gallant lover in all France. Perhaps he is. Gerard's missions, on behalf of Napoleon, are numerous and dangerous, and include avoiding capture by marauding Russian and Prussian troops, the threat of certain death by the British and his escape from imprisonment in Dartmoor. For Brigadier Etienne Gerard, wherever his mission takes him - England, Germany, Poland or France - honour and glory are all."--Publisher description.
