Francis Loraine Petre

    Francis Loraine Petre fut un historien militaire britannique qui acquit une renommée pour ses ouvrages sur les guerres napoléoniennes. Après sa retraite du Service Civil Indien, il se consacra pleinement à une carrière littéraire, se concentrant sur les campagnes de Napoléon. Ses études sur la conquête de la Prusse par Napoléon et ses campagnes en Pologne furent parmi les premières en langue anglaise à aborder en profondeur ces périodes. L'érudition de Petre se distingue par sa profondeur analytique, et ses écrits demeurent des ressources précieuses un siècle plus tard.
