Abel, Jonathan GUIBERT: Father of Napoleon's Grande Armee
If there was one man, other than Napoleon himself, who determined the course of the Napoleonic Wars, it was Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte, comte de Guibert, the foremost military theorist in France from 1770 to his death in 1790. Taking in the full scope of the times, from the ideas of the Enlightenment to the passions of the French Revolution, Jonathan Abel's Guibert is the first book in English to tell the remarkable story of the man who, through his pen and political activity, truly earned the title of Father of the Grande Armee. |

Arcq, Alain; illust by Florent Vincent WAVRE and NAMUR - 18-21 June 1815
FORGOTTEN BATTLES series: On the evening of the battle of Ligny, Napoleon marched to Waterloo. Winner of the Prussians, the Emperor joined Marshal Ney, who was unable to beat the British allies, Belgian and Dutch at the Battle of Quatre Bras. The Emperor left the Grouchy chase what he believes to be a Prussian army routed. While the cannon thundered in Waterloo, the Army Corps of Grouchy engage the Prussians at the Battle of Wavre. Grouchy did err in not walking to the sound of cannon to Waterloo? Did he simply followed the order of the Emperor? |

Austin, Paul Britten 1812: NAPOLEON IN MOSCOW
This is the second of three volumes, in which Mr. Britten-Austin paints a riveting picture of Napoleon's Russian Campaign in 1812. The concentration is on that part of the campaign aimed at Moscow, and the activities of other forces, detached to address different targets, are only covered in so far as they impact on the march on, stay-in and retreat from Moscow. |

Baker-Smith, Veronica WELLINGTON'S HIDDEN HEROES: The Dutch and the Belgians at Waterloo
The Duke of Wellington described the Battle of Waterloo as 'the most desperate business I ever was in . . . I was never so near being beat.' The courage of British troops that day has been rightly praised ever since, but the fact that one-third of the forces which gave him his narrow victory were subjects, not of George III, but of the King of the Netherlands has been almost completely ignored. This book seeks to correct a grave injustice through the study of Dutch sources, the majority of which have never been used by English-speaking historians. |

Bamford, Andrew SICKNESS, SUFFERING, AND THE SWORD: The British Regiment on Campaign -- 1805-1815
Although an army's success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field. This work assesses the effectiveness of the British Army in sustained campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars and a fresh and controversial look at Britain's military system -- showing that success or failure on campaign rested on the day-to-day experiences of regimental units rather than the army as a whole. |

Becke, Archibald WINNING THE PENINSULAR WAR: THE MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK AND MAPS OF MAJOR ARCHIBALD F. BECKE - From Salmanca to Toulouse
Historian Archibald F. Becke created a beautiful notebook in 1907. Several such notebooks, meticulously compiled, have come into our hands over the years (and sold on) but this one was retained as it was particularly handsome. Becke's notes deal largely with the strategy of the period involved, fascinatingly from the point-of-view of an early 19th Century historian who particularly understood horse transported warfare, only a 100 years away from the time he wrote. But the real gems are his exquisitely drawn color maps which are faithfully reproduced as well as a few other maps either from another source or which were included in the notebook. Includes 34 color maps. 1 vol, 114 pgs

The result is the finest study of a battle that changed field tactics. |

Regimental and battalion commanders are perhaps the most-overlooked cohort of the British Army during the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. 19th-century histories tending to be written from the top down, such that the decisions of the commanding generals took primacy; the battalion commanders existed at the very bottom of that chain and so were infrequently seen. |

Burnham, Robert and Ron McGuigan WELLINGTON'S BRIGADE COMMANDERS: Peninsula and Waterloo
New biographical guide to his brigade commanders investigates the lives and careers of a group of men who performed a vital role in Wellington's chain of command. These officers were the brigadiers and major generals who, for a variety of reasons, never made the jump to become permanent division commanders. Their characters, experience, and level of competence were key factors in the successes and failures of the army as a whole. Their biographies give us a fascinating insight into their individual backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses, and the makeup of the society they came from. |

Buttery, David WELLINGTON AGAINST JUNOT: The First Invasion of Portugal 1807-1808
The first French invasion of Portugal in 1807 -- which was commanded by Junot, one of Napoleon's most experienced generals -- was a key event in the long, brutal Peninsular War. It was the first campaign fought in the Peninsular by Sir Arthur Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, yet it tends to be overshadowed by more famous episodes in the six-year conflict that followed. |

Camignari, Juan Carlos NAPOLEON AND ITALY: 1805-1815
The links between Napoleon and Italy are too often reduced to its dazzling campaigns of 1796 and 1800. This love story, composed of moments of happiness but also resentment, continued well beyond Marengo. The story of Napoleon and Italy from 1805 to 1815 is primarily that of a relentless thought -- each day two, three, or four letters were sent to Milan, Rome, and Naples -- in an effort to make Italy a model French state. 300 photos. 1 vol, 192 pgs

Clammer, David LADIES, WIVES AND WOMEN: British Army Wives in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815
During the Napoleonic wars it was customary for British troops ordered on active service to take some of their wives with them. The usual proportion was six women per hundred men. The wives who were to accompany their husbands were chosen by ballot: excitement for the lucky ones and anguish for those left behind. The latter often marched with the regiment to the port of departure, desperate to remain with their men till the last moment, and there were harrowing scenes as families were separated, perhaps forever. |

Contreras, Joaquin Garcia and Malcolm Marsh BRITISH AND SPANISH RELATIONS DURING THE PENINSULAR WAR: The British Gracchi
At the start of the Spanish Peninsular War (1808-1814), the climate in London was favorable to cooperation with Spain. Yet the feeling of failure soon took hold of British society due to having embarked in another long and costly war, and many felt disappointment with the scarce cooperation of Spanish troops. Among the few who defended the importance of the Spanish cause were the Wellesley brothers, the 'British Gracchi,' who together maintained this fragile alliance between both countries until the final victory over the French. |

In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which the town gave its name would become a landmark in European history. |

Unexpectedly attacked, Napoleon's army fought one of the most intense battles of the French Revolutionary Wars.

This book offers the full account of the scope, complexity, and importance of Wellington's intelligence department, describing a highly organized, multifaceted series of networks of agents and spies throughout Spain and Portugal - an organization that was at once a microcosm of British intelligence at the time and a sophisticated forebear to intelligence developments in the twentieth century. |

Fought on 16 June 1815, two days before the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Quatre Bras has been described as a tactical Anglo-allied victory, but a French strategic victory. The French Marshal Ney was given command of the left wing of Napoleon's army and ordered to seize the vital crossroads at Quatre Bras, as the prelude to an advance on Brussels. The crossroads was of strategic importance because the side which controlled it could move southeastward along the Nivelles-Namur road. Including 16 illustrations and a central plate section. |

Grouchy, though, was not defeated. He kept his force together and retreated in good order back to France. |

Dawson, Paul THE NAPOLEONIC 'DAD'S ARMY': The British Volunteer Movement, 1794-1814
Discusses how the aim of the 'Loyal Britons' was to organize patriotic, anti-French forces in defense of king and country and to help maintain the established order - thus leading to the Volunteer Act of 1794 to fight against the French. By 1804, there were 380,000 volunteers under arms and the various corps made up half to one third of all the home service forces, combined with volunteers who agreed to serve overseas, as garrison troops in India for example, the number grows to approximately 800,000 - meaning that around one in every five adult males participated in military activities. Using diaries and archive sources, this book seeks to explore the 'Dad's Army' of the Napoleonic Wars. Contains 16 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 264 pgs

Ede-Borrett, Stephen THE ARMY OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY, 1805-1814: Uniforms, Organization, Campaigns (Revised Edition)
A revised and expanded edition of the study of the uniforms, organization, personnel, and campaigns of that army. Illustrated in full color throughout, with over a hundred color illustrations, this study covers not just the regulation uniforms, although unusually the regulations were somewhat sparse, but also the numerous variations recorded in contemporary documents and plates, and in surviving items. Also covers the little-known, and highly esoteric, provisional uniforms of the Army's early years. The uniforms of what the French called the Tete de Colonne were never regulated properly and could change from issue to issue and year to year, often depending solely on the availability of cloth or the personal idiosyncrasies of the Colonel. Attempts to cover all of the known changes and variations in these uniforms including some additional variations since the first edition. Contains 124 color illustrations and photos, 29 black and white illustrations, one color map, and tables throughout. 1 vol, 174 pgs

Esdaile, Charles OUTPOST OF EMPIRE: The Napoleonic Occupation of Andalucia, 1810-1812
Napoleon's forces invaded Spain in 1808, but two years went by before they overran the southern region of Andalucia. Situated at the farthest frontier of Napoleon's 'outer empire,' Andalucia remained under French control only briefly - for two-and-a-half years - and never experienced the normal functions of French rule. Esdaile moves beyond traditional military history to examine the French occupation of Andalucia and the origins and results of the region's complex and chaotic response. |

Cover all the categories of units that were part of Napoleon's infantry: line regiments, light regiments, foreign corps, and special corps, including foreign units such as Irish Legion, Corsican light infantry, and mountain infantry. When the future Emperor assumed control of France, the infantry of his army was disorganized and poorly equipped; it lacked discipline and was trained in a quite old-fashioned way. Napoleon acted very rapidly to resolve the major problems of his foot troops, by giving them a new structure and by teaching them new tactics. By 1805, the French infantry was without a doubt the best in the world in terms of combat capabilities. includes 84 color illustrations, including some rare contemporary uniform plates that have never been published before. 1 vol, 160 pgs

Napoleon in his memoirs accused Grouchy, like Marshal Ney, of a series of failures in command that led to the French defeat, and many subsequent historians took the same line. 1 vol, 336 pgs

Napoleon faced the Archduke Charles, the best of the Habsburg commanders, and a reformed Austrian Army that was arguably the best ever fielded by the Danubian Monarchy. The French ultimately triumphed but the margin of superiority was decreasing and all of Napoleon's skill and determination was required to achieve a victorious outcome. |

As they rest, important action was taking place elsewhere: Eugene won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowski's Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna. These campaigns set the stage for the titanic Battle of Wagram. |

Gimenez, J J Herrero THE PENINSULAR WAR: The Spanish Perspective
British historians often relegated Spanish contributions to victory over the Napoleonic French in the Peninsular War to a minor role. Here, a Spanish historian offers a different analysis of Spanish defeats and victories and the logistical and political difficulties faced by the Spaniards. Examines great battles such as Tudela, Ocana, and Bailen as well as sieges such as Zaragoza while also covering the guerrilla warfare in which ordinary citizens took up arms, attacking isolated French outposts and capturing enemy messengers and patrols. As the war progressed, the Spanish armies became strong enough to win several battles, contributing decisively to the defeat of Napoleon in conjunction with the magnificent achievements of Sir Arthur Wellesley and his Anglo-Portuguese army. |

Glover, Gareth AN ELOQUENT SOLDIER: The Peninsular War Journals of Lieutenant Charles Crowe of the Inniskillings, 1812-14
Lieutenant Charles Crowe's journal covers the 27th Foot (Inniskillings) of the final campaign of Wellington's army. Crowe does not pull his punches: he censures officers both junior and senior; he talks openly of the ravages of war, and the pillaging, raping and looting; the horrors of war, describing the deaths and horrific wounds of many in lurid detail, the cowardice and stupidity; and he also describes the mundane in detail - nothing is passed over. |

Glover, Gareth Waterloo: Myth and Reality
More has probably been written about the Waterloo campaign than almost any other in history. It was the climax of the Napoleonic Wars and forms a watershed in both European and world history. However, the lethal combination of national bias, willful distortion, and simple error has unfortunately led to the constantly regurgitated traditional 'accepted' version being significantly wrong regarding many episodes in the campaign. Oft-repeated claims have morphed into established fact and, with the bicentenary of this famous battle soon to be commemorated, it is high time that these are challenged and finally dismissed. |

Glover, Gareth MARCHING, FIGHTING, DYING: Experiences of Soldiers in the Peninsular War
Explores the everyday experience of British troops during the Napoleonic War in the Peninsular using excerpts from their letters. Only extracts from letters written during the campaigns are quoted - journals written much later for publication are discounted - so a true picture of life in the army at war comes out directly, as it was perceived at the time. Every aspect of the soldiers' experience is covered, from the fatigue and discomfort of existence on military service to the reality of combat and their feelings when a comrade was wounded or killed. The letters reveal so much about their attitude to the enemy, civilians and the men who served alongside them. Since this was the first war in history where regular postal services operated - and since a rising number of soldiers were able to read and write - their letters offer us an insight into men at war that has never been recorded before. 1 vol, 344 pgs

Histories of the Waterloo campaign and tours of the battlefield generally concentrate on the battle between the armies of Napoleon and Wellington - the role of Blucher's Prussians is left in the background. Peter Hofsch?er's fascinating account focuses on the Prussians at the Battle of Waterloo and on their critical but often neglected contribution to the battle. He tells the story of the grueling Prussian advance towards the battlefield and he records the ferocious and decisive fight that broke out when they arrived. At every stage he allows the reader to follow in the footsteps of the Prussian soldiers as they struggled across the Belgian countryside almost 200 years ago. 1 vol, 144 pgs

Hofschroer, Peter translator, editor On Wellington A Critique of Waterloo By Carl von Clausewitz
Clausewitz, the Western world's most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington's actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a lying work. The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington's private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschroer brings Clausewitz's critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation |

Howard, Martin R WALCHEREN 1809: Scandalous Destruction of a British Army
In July 1809, with the Dutch coast 'a pistol held at the head of England,' the largest British expeditionary force ever assembled, over 40,000 men and around 600 ships, weighed anchor off the Kent coast and sailed for the island of Walcheren in the Scheldt estuary. After an initial success, the expedition stalled and as the lethargic military commander, Lord Chatham, was at loggerheads with the opinionated senior naval commander, Sir Richard Strachan, troops were dying of a mysterious disease termed 'Walcheren fever.' Almost all the campaign's 4,000 dead were victims of disease. |

Study of the British army's campaigns in the West Indies during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic period (1793-1815) and of the extraordinary experiences of the soldiers who served there. Rich in sugar, cotton, coffee, and slaves, the region was a key to British prosperity and it was perhaps even more important to her greatest enemy - France. Yet, until now, the history of this vital theater of the Napoleonic Wars has been seriously neglected. Focuses on the human experience of the men - the climate and living conditions, the rations and diet, military discipline and training, the treatment of the wounded, and the impact of disease. 1 vol, 240 pgs

The second volume takes a detailed look at the campaign leading up to the Battle of Sagunto, which is analyzed to incorporate new Spanish research that reconstructs the historical narrative of Suchet's climactic battle against Joaquin Blake. The French victory at Sagunto was followed by the fall of Valencia and a lengthy struggle for the French to hold on to what had been conquered. Meanwhile, resurgent Spanish armies and a British expeditionary force intruded into those plans. Includes 14 b/w illustrations, 18 color illustrations, 16 maps, and 4 tables. 1 vol, 312 pgs

Lachouque, Henry NAPOLEON'S WAR IN SPAIN
In the early 1800s, the Spanish Ulcer was for the French what the Eastern Front was for the Germans in 1941-45 or Vietnam was for the Americans. This book devotes itself to the war in Spain and ignores the campaigns in Portugal, where the French suffered their worst defeats. The treatment is strongly pro-French but told with fine narration and balance. Each chapter covers a single year of the struggle. |

Lalowski, T and North, J editors POLISH EYEWITNESSES TO NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGNS: 1814-15
These eyewitness accounts by Polish soldiers tells their story of the campaign in France in Spring 1814 when Napoleon once again revealed his true genius for waging war. Napoleon finally had to accept defeat and was exiled to Elba with a small contingent of his Imperial Guard -- including a squadron of the famous Polish Lancers. This handful of loyal Poles returned with him when he escaped from Elba in 1815 and fought during the 100 Days and at Waterloo. They describe vividly the battles, sieges, the agonies of their final surrender, and the uncertainties surrounding their return home to a very different Poland. Includes many illustrations and maps. 1 vol, 241 pgs

As witnesses to History's ups and downs, flags - and in particular infantry flags - reveal how short-lived ideas and their symbols can be when they are the unfortunate victims of auto-da-fes thought up by different regimes. Today museums have only managed to preserve a few rare specimens and the period texts and documents are mostly incomplete. This is particularly true for the Army of Italy flags, those of the volunteers and those of the half-brigades from 1794-1803, which are still mainly unknown to this day. |

Limm, Andrew WALCHEREN TO WATERLOO: The British Army in the Low Countries during French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815
The military success achieved by the Duke of Wellington casts a long shadow over the history of the British army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. The popular account of Britain's military record in the great struggle against Napoleonic France is chiefly one of glorious victories, with Britain cast as the savior of Europe from the Corsican 'monster.' Most British historians have focused on retelling stories of British success, notably Wellington's, in Spain, Portugal, and during the Hundred Days campaign and tend to pay little attention to British military defeats. |

Challenges the 'Road to Waterloo' narrative of the army's steady progress from the 1780s and early 1790s, to its strong performances throughout the Peninsular War and its triumph at the Battle of Waterloo.

Dismissive, conservative and aloof, Wellington treated his artillery with disdain during the Napoleonic Wars - despite their growing influence on the field of battle. Wellington's Guns exposes, for the very first time, the often stormy relationship between Wellington and his artillery, how the reluctance to modernize the British artillery corps threatened to derail the British push for victory and how Wellington's views on the command and appointment structure within the artillery opened up damaging rifts between him and his men. |

Liscombe, Nick PENINSULAR WAR ATLAS, THE - Revised Edition
The Peninsular War is one of the defining campaigns of the British Army and sealed its reputation for supreme professionalism, heroic obstinacy and sheer perseverance. It made the reputation of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, and acts as the backdrop to the adventures of Bernard Cornwell's fictional hero Richard Sharpe. The British Army, under Sir John Moore and Wellington, ranged across the plains and mountains of Portugal and Spain and into France, taking part in 15 field actions and four bloody sieges, including Salamanca, Vitoria and Badajoz, but this is only part of the picture. The contribution of the Spanish and Portuguese forces is frequently overlooked, but there were a further 25 field actions and 15 sieges in the Iberian peninsula as part of the savage duel between the French occupiers and native inhabitants. In this newly revised edition of The Peninsular War Atlas, Colonel Nick Lipscombe expands upon his comprehensive, non-partisan examination of the conflict with 164 original maps, accompanied by an authoritative text narrating the war. His 34 years of service in the British Army, including postings in both Spain and Portugal, give him a unique perspective on the conflict. With contributions from Professor Charles Esdaile and the present Duke of Wellington as well as the cooperation of the Spanish and Portuguese authorities, this book is the essential topographical guide to the conflict. The Peninsular War Atlas has been published in collaboration with Peninsular War 200, the organisation established 'to commemorate in a spirit of respect to all and malice to none the 40,000 British (including Irish and foreign-auxiliary) service personnel who lost their lives in the Peninsular War of 1808-14'. |

When relations between the two countries broke down in May 1808, they were soon at war with each other, and La Romana's troops became, in effect, a captive army in the hands of the French. |

Martin, Yves THE FRENCH ARMY OF THE ORIENT 1798-1801: Napoleon's Beloved 'Egyptians'
More than 200 years ago - under the inspiration and leadership of Bonaparte - a revolutionary French Army invaded Egypt, then part of the Ottoman Empire; this presence lasted beyond Bonaparte's own departure and subsequent rise to power as First Consul. It ended with another invasion - this time by the British - and the repatriation in France of what was left of the 'Army of the Orient'. The birth of Egyptology; the rise of modern Egypt; the demise of the Ottoman Empire; and start of 'the great game' have all been often told and studied, but what is less well known is that as the French found themselves stranded in a foreign land - profoundly alien to them in culture and climate - they had to adapt to survive. |

At its peak it was made up of 680,000 men, a huge multi-national force of officers, infantry and cavalry, artillery and support services masterminded by a superior and highly flexible system of corps, divisions, brigades and regiments, commanded by officers in which Napoleon placed a huge degree of trust and autonomy to operate within the outlines of his strategic objectives. 200 color & 50 b&w illustrations. |

Two armies in Germany failed while the small army of Italy, under the orders of Bonaparte, in a dazzling and brilliant campaign rolled the Austrians. In less than 12 months, it destroyed four Austrian armies, grabbed a part of Piedmont, founded two republics, conquered northern Italy, and on October 7, 1797, signed the Treaty of Campo Formio with Austria.

Mongin, Jean Marie LES ITALIENS DE L'EMPEREUR: Les Arm?es de la P?ninsule Italienne 1800-1815
This army of the Kingdom of Italy started during Bonaparte's first campaign with the creation of the Lombard and Cisalpine Legions. This army especially featured a greater number of enrolled troops, instead of volunteers. The Italian Royal Guard, from the beginning of the century, was the hub around which the Army of the Kingdom of Italy was formed. It took part in the great campaigns of the Empire. The transalpine uniforms often recalled those worn by their French brothers-in-arms. The Army of the Kingdom of Naples (from 1806 to 1815, commanded in succession by Joseph Bonaparte then Joachim Murat) inherited a tradition forged by the Bourbons. The Neapolitan Army, large but unreliable, was entrusted with defending the south of Italy with the French, against the Bourbons and the English; this did not prevent it from being mobilized alongside the French army in Spain or in divisions within the Grande Armee during the Russian Campaign. 1 vol, 160 pgs

Mongin, Jean Marie LES SUISSES AU SERVICE DE LA FRANCE: 1715-1820
Very early on, Switzerland set up a real mercenary business. By capitulations each canton could recruit military units on behalf of a neighbouring state with their own officers and rules. The French Revolution encountered the loyalty of the Swiss in the service of the King of France. The infamous massacre of the Swiss Guard on 10 August 1792 in the Tuileries was the bloodiest. After that the Swiss regiments in the infantry of the Line were disbanded. France, reorganised Europe between 1793 and 1813, and transformed Switzerland which supplied, not always in the best conditions, its neighbour with troops of great worth to the Revolution and to the Empire. This book deals with the Swiss troops which served the Monarchy, the Republic, the Consulate, and the Empire and the Second Empire. 1 vol, 80 pgs

For Napoleon, 'the infantry is the soul of the army' it effectively brings together most of the combatants present under the flags. Apart from the special case of the Imperial Guard, the French infantry was divided into two broad categories: line infantry and light infantry. The first forms the big battalion of this fighting mass. The 120 images and accompanying descriptions present the soldiers of the Line infantry from the infantry of Louis XVI to those of Charles X without forgetting, of course, the infantry of the Revolution, and the Emperor's grumblers. 1 vol, 160 pgs

At the Battle of Waterloo Sir William Ponsonby, a man who the Duke of Wellington stated had 'rendered very brilliant and important services and was an ornament to his profession', was killed by French lancers after leading the Union Brigade (the three Dragoon Regiments of the Royals, Iniskillings, and Scots Greys) in a charge that wrecked a French advance that threatened Wellington with defeat. Sir William was a career soldier who had led his regiment in the decisive charge at the Battle of Salamanca and served with great distinction during the Peninsular War. Yet historians have blamed him because the charge at Waterloo got out of hand. Includes 30 illustrations. |

But British leaders had a long history of forging alliances to counter their rivals and when revolution ravaged France in 1793 and a levee en masse raised a huge patriotic army, it was through a coalition of monarchies that French ambitions were restrained - a coalition made possible by British gold and British industry. |

North, Jonathan THE DEATH OF JOACHIM MURAT: 1815 and the Unfortunate Fate of One of Napoleon's Marshals
In 1808, Napoleon appointed Joachim Murat king of Naples as a loyal ally until, in 1814, with Napoleon beaten and in retreat towards ruin and exile, he chose to betray their imperial relation and dramatically switched sides. A year later, he fled his kingdom, but Napoleon had not forgiven him and after Waterloo, the restored Bourbons were offering a reward for Murat's head. In September 1815, he set off and what happened next forms the core of this part-tragic, part-ridiculous story and a lesson in how not to stage a coup. Just five days after landing in Calabria, King Joachim was hauled before a firing squad and executed. Contains 8 color illustrations and 8 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 224 pgs

Potter, Philip THE SOLDIER KINGS OF FRANCE
Examines eight sovereigns of France, beginning in the 9th century with King Charles II's seizure of the French crown and concluding in the 19th century with Napoleon's rise and fall. In the book, the reign of Philip II and his participation in the Third Crusade to the Holy Land is the second monarch reviewed, followed by Louis XI, who ended the Hundred Year War with the English. Louis XII's rule is explored next, which fought to expand French territorial holdings into the Lombardy region of Italy. The fifth king surveyed is Francis I and his enlargement of French lands into Italy, while the sixth king is Henry IV, whose conversion to the Catholic faith ended thirty years of French religious wars and established a stable and popular regime. The kingship of Louis XIV is the book's seventh overlord, whose rule was occupied with wars to expand his territories and the building of France into the center of European culture, arts, architecture, and music during the Baroque era, while presiding over a magnificent court at the Versailles Palace. The final sovereign lord discussed is Napoleon Bonaparte, who led his armies to victory, establishing French dominance across Europe until his defeats at Leipzig and Waterloo. Contains 14 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 240 pgs

Reid, Stuart WELLINGTON'S HISTORY OF THE PENINSULAR WAR: Battling Napoleon in Iberia 1808-1814
Though pressed many times to write about his battles and campaigns, the Duke of Wellington always replied that people should refer to his published dispatches, and he refused to add further to his official correspondence, famously remarking that: 'The history of a battle, is not unlike the history of a ball. Some individuals may recollect all the little events of which the great result is the battle won or lost, but no individual can recollect the order in which, or the exact moment at which, they occurred, which makes all the difference as to their value or importance.' |

Rosas, Cardedeu GUERRA DE INDEPENDENCIA EN CATALUNA 1808-1809
Beyond the Bruch and the sites of Gerona, little importance has given historiography to the war of independence in Catalonia. However, the French emperor considered this region so important for his plans, that after the first failures of General Duhesme, he gave command to one of his most capable generals, Gouvion Saint-Cyr, who led one of the most successful campaigns to remember. While Napoleon Bonaparte barred the Spanish armies in the center of the peninsula, Saint-Cyr did the same for all Catalonia. First the Count de Caldagues, then the general Vives and finally the Swiss Reding succumbed to the operational capacity and the speed of decisions of its French counterpart. |

Retreating from the loss at Leipzig, Napoleon found before him at Frankfurt not only an Austrian corps commanded by Fresnel and Klenau, but the Bavarian corps of General de Wrede, which had defected from the French Grand Armee. Wrede thought he faced only a straggling mob of French, but soon discovered he faced the Imperial Guard, commanded by the Emperor himself. Nonetheless, after a repulse from the fighting overnight and in the morning, Wrede tried again. This is when the game begins. |

Sarkozy, Louis NAPOLEON'S LIBRARY: The Emperor, His Books and Their Influence on the Napoleonic Era
Explores Napoleon's love of literature that started as a child and carried through his entire life. He not only enjoyed literature for its own sake, but he also understood the value of books as instruments of power. Before a campaign, he poured over dozens of texts relating to the relevant theaters' geography, population, trade, and history. When contemplating grave decisions, such as his divorce to Empress Josephine, he consulted the historical record for useful precedents to justify and inform his actions. To bolster his troop's morale during challenging times, he constantly referenced history in his proclamations, making his contemporaries feel as if they were actively shaping history. Looks at the emperor's favorite authors and seeks to further understanding his mind. Contains 16 mono illustrations. 1 vol, 280 pgs

The 1810 French invasion of Portugal, commanded by the veteran marshal Andre Massena, was halted at the Lines of Torres Vedras. Starting with Wellington's occupation of the Lines of Torres Vedras, the book covers Wellington's pursuit of Massena back to Spain. This was a time when the Peninsular Army was still being forged and Wellington was refining his own art of war. In addition, 1810-1811 was a period when the outcome of the struggle in Iberia was still far from certain, and Wellington could not maneuver with the same confidence in the outcome as he could in future years. |

The result were stand-offs as Wellington offered battle on the San Christobal Heights, but once the small French-garrisoned forts left behind in Salamanca fell, Marmont withdrew to the Douro. |

One cannot improve on Sir Charles Oman's description of the book as: 'the work of a man of superior education, who had enlisted in a moment of pique and humiliation to avoid facing at home the consequences of his own conceit and folly. The author wrote from the ranks, yet was so different in education and mental equipment from his comrades that he does not take their vies and habits for granted'. |

Smith, Digby NAPOLEON'S GERMAN DIVISION IN SPAIN VOLUME ONE: NASSAU, BADEN, FRANKFURT & HESSEN-DARMSTADT TROOPS, THEIR REGIMENTAL HISTORY, UNIFORMS & ORGANISATION.
Color uniform plates and maps. This is a ground-breaking study from Digby, highlighting a part of the Peninsular War that has received scant attention - the German units who fought in Napoleon's army. The book is a detailed study of their campaign service, fascinating because it concentrates on small engagements and skirmishes (great for wargamers!). The book is enhanced by original color maps, uniform, and flag details. Includes 16 absolutely superb color plates by Bob Marrion. 1 vol, 290 pgs

Smith, Digby (aka Von Pivka, Otto) NAVIES OF THE NAPOLEONIC ERA
The period of turmoil that preceded and marked the Napoleonic era caused an expansion in the navies of Europe and the United States. Naval tactics were evolving too, as the old system of individual ships and captains was replaced by true navies, governed by a hierarchy and working together as a force. The book falls into three parts: Part One: The Ships and the Men describes ship construction, rigging, sail plans and rating system, life at sea, naval tactics and the balance of naval forces from the outbreak of war in 1792. |

Soltyk, General Roman; translated by G. Nafziger OPERATIONS OF THE POLISH ARMY DURING 1809
Originally published in 1841, Operations of the Polish Army during the 1809 Campaign, by General Roman Soltyk, is not a simple recitation of the events of the war; it is a reasoned critique of the operations of the Polish Army, disputing its territory and its liberties from the Austrian Army foot by foot. It was written by a man who was personally familiar with the people and events discuss in this work. Using original material along with his memoirs, General Soltyk lays out a fascinating and detailed account of the little researched, but equally important theater of war. 1 vol, 175 pgs

Spring, Laurence 004 COMBAT: French Guardsman vs Russian Jaeger 1812-14
The Russian Jaeger regiments and Napoleon's Young Guard clashed repeatedly during the campaigns of 1812-14. The Russian Jaeger were light infantry who gained enormous experience and prestige during the struggle to rid Europe of Napoleon's armies, while the Young Guard was expanded to become the main strike force of the French field armies. In appalling winter conditions in 1812, the Young Guard turned to confront their opponents, including Jaeger forces, at Krasnyi. In the face of constant bombardment, Young Guard regiments held off the Russians, covering the retreat of large parts of Napoleon's forces. They clashed again at Leipzig in 1813 and then again in the bitter cold at Craonne in 1814, where horrendous casualties finally told on the newly formed Young Guard units pitched into an attack upon Russian Jaeger regiments. Putting the reader in the shoes of the ordinary soldiers of both sides, this absorbing book traces the evolving trial of strength between Russia's Jaeger arm and France's Young Guardsmen at the height of the Napoleonic Wars 1 vol, 80 pgs

The Netherlands has always been a country of deep strategic interest to Great Britain; none more so than during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. This maritime power had all the facilities and naval strength necessary to launch an invasion across the North Sea. However, it is of interest to note that no full, in-depth study of the Armies of the Netherlands prior to 1813 has been published in English before. All others have been in a compendium of other armies, or in a small volume which did not do justice to the subject. |

Some of them were patriots who were keen to wage war on the Russians in order to regain independence for their country. Others were charmed by the glory of Napoleonic warfare or were professional soldiers who did their duty but had seen too much war to be seduced by it. |

Suggests that the British Cheer wielded genuine power as a true 'weapon of war.' Surveys the history of acclamations in battle worldwide and British battle-cries from all periods before addressing the question of what the British Cheer actually sounded like. Issues of acoustics, physics, and the psychology of battlefield morale are considered, along with commentaries from significant military scholars throughout history. Examination of the Napoleonic-era Cheer then reveals the practically invincible 'recipe' of volley-cheer-charge that propelled the British Army to victory upon victory. |

Toorenvliet, Henk SPLENDOUR REVISITED: King Joachim Murat's Colourful Army - The Neapolitan Army 1808-1815
Joachim Murat was one of those larger-than-life characters that crop up throughout history. He had a humble start in life and took a chance for adventure when he first joined the army. He again took a risk giving support to General Bonaparte in Paris in 1795 and rode on his coattails to become the most brilliant of contemporary cavalry generals, husband to one of Bonaparte's sisters, and eventually King of Naples before, ultimately but tragically, attempting to free himself from Napoleon's influence and unite all of Italy. This book outlines his life and charts his progress from birth in Gascony to death before a firing squad in Italy. |

van Uythoven, Geert THE SECRET EXPEDITION: The Anglo-Russian Invasion of Holland 1799
In 1799, as part of the Second Coalition against France, an Anglo-Russian army landed in Holland to overthrow the Batavian Republic and to reinstate the Stadtholder William V of Orange. Initially called 'The Secret Expedition', although not really a secret for both sides, the description of the invasion reads like a novel. Five major battles were fought between armies of four different nations, with unexpected deeds of heroism and unexpected defeats. There were secret negotiations and rumors of bribery. More than enough ingredients for biased opinions, historical errors, and incorrect information copied from historians up to this day. Includes 23 black and white photos, 22 black and white illustrations, and 15 black and white maps. |

Those battles were sought by Napoleon after careful planning and maneuver to give him the edge on the contested field. This work examines the nature of that process, both in the weeks and days leading to the collision and the hours during which it was brought to fulfillment. 1 vol, 116 pgs

In France of 1823, the internal situation is particularly tense and a generalized climate of suspicion limits the individual initiative. In the Chamber of Deputies, intolerance is maximum and common insults. It is in this high-voltage atmosphere that the government, trapped by its refusal to allow the passage of foreign armies, is forced to lift an observation body of 100,000 men to come to the aid of Ferdinand VII, hostage of the constitutionals. The decision goes horribly wrong in the assembly and even comes to the expulsion Manu Militari from Jacques-Antoine Manuel, Liberal member of the Vendee, on 3 March. |

He was present at the destruction of Smolensk, toured the battlefield of Borodino and witnessed the great fire in Moscow. |

In 1814 he and his remaining fellow officers were released, and together they started the journey back home. |

Wilkin, Bernard FIGHTING FOR NAPOLEON: French Soldiers' Letters 1799-1815
The French side of the Napoleonic Wars is often seen from a strategic point of view, or in terms of military organization and battlefield tactics, or through officers' memoirs. It is rarely seen from the perspective of the lowest ranks of the army, and the experience of the ordinary soldiers is less well known and is often misunderstood.

Wilkin, Bernard and Rene FIGHTING THE BRITISH: French Eyewitness Accounts from the Napoleonic Wars
The British army during the Napoleonic Wars is often studied using English sources and the British view of their French opponents has been covered in exhaustive detail. However, the French view of the British has been less often studied and is frequently misunderstood. This book, based on hundreds of letters, memoirs, and reports of French officers and soldiers of the Napoleonic armies, adds to the existing literature by exploring the British army from the French side of the battle line. |

Wright, David A VERY PECULIAR BATTLE: The Double Battle of Fere-Champenoise, 25 March 1814
Fere-Champenoise was two separate battles that merged together. In one, a force of Russian, Wurttemberg, and Austrian cavalry and horse artillery defeated a larger French force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, opening the way to Paris. In the other, Russian cavalry and horse artillery destroyed Napoleon's last supply column. Both were encounter battles in that all four armies involved were unaware of the presence of their opponent until they met. In both battles, the allied forces consisted entirely of cavalry and horse artillery, while the French forces contained predominantly infantry and foot artillery. A French force of ligne and garde units panicked, while a force of ill-trained Gardes nationale fought stubbornly until overwhelmed. During the main battle, a short, violent storm had a devastating effect on the French, while the arrival of the secondary battle prevented the main from being an overwhelming success. Includes nine b/w illustrations, 20 color illustrations, 10 color photos, one color map, 33 b/w maps, and 11 tables. |

Zucker, Kevin HIGHWAY TO THE KREMLIN II
Highway to Kremlin II is a wargame that manage to recreate the dynamics of attrition so peculiar to Napoleon's invasion of Russia. The losses mount quickly, the supply lines and weather are central. The game usually flows in a historically accurate way : you will see the Russians retreat eastwards and regroup around Smolensk, where they could allow or deny the French a battle. Then, the rush for Moscow ensues, with an inevitable intermediary battle, often very close to Borodino. |

Zucker, Kevin NAPOLEON AGAINST RUSSIA: Wargame
This wargame covers five battles from the critical phase of the Campaign, when the Russian Army finally gave Napoleon the decisive battles he so greatly desired. His first maneuver starts out well-with the French poised to slip into Smolensk behind the Russians. However, the opportunity to bring an end to the campaign will remain unfulfilled. After that, Moscow became the default destination of the Grande Armee. |

Zucker, Kevin NAPOLEON RETREATS: 1814 Campaign in France II
The Campaign in France, Part II: 6 March to 13 March 1814. The major battle was Laon, on 9-10 March, when Napoleon, with 37,000, went up against Blucher's position, on the hill of Laon, with 85,000. (Marshal Marmont with a separate VI Corps was supposed to support the attack, but he was dispersed in a night combat.) Blucher wasn't feeling well and failed to pursue. One more battle was to follow (after two days for R&R) and Napoleon won that battle: Reims, against St. Priest. So actually, he won two out of three. |

A series of defeats provoked Napoleon to lead 200,000 men into the Peninsula. The British attacked near Burgos but were soon forced into a long retreat punctuated by the battles of Sahagun, Benavente and Cacabelos, ending in an evacuation from Coruna in January, 1809. Moore was mortally wounded while directing the defence of the town in the Battle of Coru?a. After only two months in Spain, Napoleon handed command over to Marshal Soult and returned to France, to prepare for renewed hostilities against Austria. |
