Los generales

Resumen del libro

Siguiendo la historia donde nos dejó "Sangre Joven", "Los Generales" nos presenta a Napoleón y Wellington como dos jóvenes militares insatisfechos con su situación. Napoleón es un joven oficial de la Francia revolucionaria, dispuesto a poner de manifiesto su ardor militar durante las campañas en Italia y Egipto, lo que no tarda en llevarlo a lo más alto de la política francesa. Mientras Wellington embarca con destino a la India donde se gana la admiración de sus superiores por su inteligencia táctica.
Sus respectivas ambiciones quedarán más que claras y Scarrow nos deja a las puertas del crucial enfrentamiento en la península Ibérica, por la supremacía entre Francia e Inglaterra y entre dos personalidades irrepetibles. Ambos tendrán que esmerarse para el enfrentamiento que se avecina en el tercer volumen de este ciclo dedicado a las vidas paralelas de estos dos grandes generales.
