Summary
This book seeks to provide a comprehensive account of the expedition as a joint military enterprise--joint in terms of French émigrés and the British Government, and its Navy and Army, as well as in terms of the émigrés and local chouans. Drawing on memoirs, archival material and historical works it seeks to place the expedition within the context of wider events and describe how it was affected by the planning process as well as concurrent events and priorities. Personal and political capacity, ambition, rivalry and co-operation all played their part in affecting events, along with the weather and chance. In essence it seeks to give the reader the story of what happened but also shed light on why it happened.
