The whole history of the world war against revolutionary and Napoleonic France now has to be rewritten. British gold, is what.
The whole history of the world war against revolutionary and Napoleonic France now has to be rewritten. The British government, naturally royalist in spirit, wished to return the Bourbons to the French throne, rather than have the Republican spirit wash onto their own shores. Their method of choice: bribe key revolutionaries to create conditions so frightening, so repulsive, so disgusting, that the French would ardently desire the return of their kings.

Perseus Press; 480 pages; June 1, 1999. Secret Service: British Agents in France 1792-1815 Elizabeth Sparrow. Though not an easy read, I did enjoy this book. The world of subterfuge is a truly murky place. I would definitely recommend this book for those with an interest in the British History of this period or for people with an interest in the Napoleonic Wars. Perhaps even for people who just want to know how to be sly and cunning – there are some great tips! Pair this with one of Stephanie Barron’s Jane Austen Mysteries for a fun, historical look into the world of Regency espionage.
This book tells the story of the British fear of a French-style revolution and the origins of the British secret services MI5 and 6. This proto secret service, the author maintains, was part of British opposition of Napoleon and as such was able to manipulate some of the Emperor’s staff.
