Armies of the Napoleonic Wars, ed. Gregory Fremont-Barnes.
Armies of the Napoleonic Wars, ed. Gregory Fremont-Barnes.
A collection of ten articles by nine different authors looking at the main armies of the Napoleonic Wars, from 1803 to 1815. The chapters vary in tone, with some only having the space to trace the evolving structure of an army, while others, for the smaller participants, also provide details on the army's performance. A very useful reference work.
