Description

As part of the Second Coalition against France, an Anglo-Russian army landed in Holland to overthrow the Batavian Republic.

Initially called 'The Secret Expedition', the description of the invasion reads like a novel.

Five major battles were fought between four nations, with unexpected deeds of heroism and unexpected defeats.

Using sources from all participating countries, this book aims to give a balanced account of the invasion: the preparations on both sides, detailed descriptions of the battles as well as the events taking place at sea and in the eastern provinces of the Batavian Republic.
