À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode of The Napoleonic Wars, Lucas and Luna explore the shadowy world of Napoleon's Cabinet of Chiffre — the empire's codebreaking bureau. Discover how the French cracked British diplomatic ciphers, intercepted messages from the Congress of Vienna, and used intelligence to outmaneuver enemies. Learn about the work of Antoine-Honoré Duval, who deciphered the infamous 'Valençay' letters of Ferdinand VII, and the role of Étienne Bazeries, a later cryptanalyst who uncovered Napoleon's own encryption methods. The episode reveals the cat-and-mouse game of codes, from the Great Paris Cipher to the use of codebooks and the infamous 'Zachary' correspondence. This is a side of Napoleonic warfare rarely discussed — the battle of wits waged in ink and secrecy.
