Pickle Partners Publishing, 2011. — 189 p. The Duke of Wellington was faced by numerous problems as the head of the British Army in the Peninsular War from 1809, not least of which were the number and quality of the sub-ordinate generals that he was sent by the powers that be at Horse Guards.

Pen and Sword Books, 2010. — 208 p.

Jourdan Publishing, 2015. — 289 p. No battle has generated more myths or more conflicting analyses than that of Waterloo. How worried were they in Brussels, dancing at the Duchess of Richmond's ball? What was Grouchy up to when he was needed? Was the French cavalry destroyed by a sunken road? Was the victory due to Napoleon's state of health on the day of the battle? Was he...
Edwin Mellen Press, 2006. — 232 p. The original archival research contained in this work redefines the nature and position of Napoleon’s Ministry of War. Under the First Empire the Ministry developed as a combined action of competing administrative authorities.

Pimlico, 2001. — 544 p.

Boydell Press, 2016. — 284 p. Following Napoleon's defeat of Prussia in 1806 and his treaties with Russia and Persia in 1807, the French threat to Britain's position in India seemed real and strengthening.

Chelsea House, 2012. — 127 p. Charles Dickens famously called the era of the French Revolution the best and worst of times. For 10 years, from 1789 to 1799, France struggled to inaugurate a new European order based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity. In the process, men wrote constitutions, women marched for bread, politicians condemned innocent people to...
University of Oklahoma Press, 2018. — 328 p. Intelligence is often the critical factor in a successful military campaign.

Crowood Press, 2007. — 323 p. The Napoleonic Wars gripped Europe, and beyond, for over ten years at the beginning of the Nineteenth century.

The battles and sieges of the Napoleonic Wars,...
Pen and Sword, 2023. — 224 p. The ‘home front’ is an increasingly important sphere of interest for the Great War and the Second World War, but what of the age of Napoleon? The story of the home front during the Napoleonic Wars is one of a clash between the interests of the ruling elite and those of disaffected elements of the middle and working classes. These disaffected...
Barnsley: Frontline Books, 2023. — 250 p. Not since 1066 – at least in popular myth – has an enemy force set foot on British soil. The Declaration of War with Revolutionary France in 1793 changed all that. In Ireland, the desire for home rule led Irish republicans to seek support from France and like-minded radicals in England. The scene was set for the most dangerous period in...
Frontline Books, 2017. — 256 p. 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.

Frontline Books, 2017. — 477 p. One of the enduring controversies of the Waterloo campaign is the conduct of Marshal Grouchy. Given command of a third of Napoleons army and told to keep the Prussians from joining forces with Wellington, he failed to keep Wellington and Blucher apart with the result that Napoleon was overwhelmed at Waterloo. Grouchy, though, was not defeated. He...
Frontline Books, 2020. — 328 p.

Pen and Sword Books, 2004. — 280 p. Between the years 1804 and 1815, Napoleon created twenty-six Marshals of France.

Warwick: Helion & Company Limited, 2018. — 250 p. Britain was totally unprepared for war with France in 1793 and relied on German auxiliaries to supplement her own meager resources to pursue her strategy in the Low Countries and beyond.

Frontline Books, 2008. — 332 p. On 16 May 1811, the small town of Albuera was the setting for one of the Peninsular War's most bloody and desperate battles.

Colorful accounts, taken from...
Paris: Librairie Militaire R. Chapelot et Cie, 1908. — 665 p. Aux époques glorieuses où la victoire couronnait nos drapeaux, les états-majors eurent souvent un rôle effacé. Il ne pouvait d'ailleurs en être autrement. Napoléon et ses maréchaux attiraient seuls l'attention des foules. Seuls aussi, les chefs militaires qui portaient la responsabilité du commandement, recueillaient...
Pen and Sword Books, 2012. — 187 p. Two hundred years ago the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars convulsed the whole of Europe.

Pen and Sword, 2009. — 224 p. Military histories of the struggle against the French armies of the Revolution and Napoleon often focus on the exploits of elite units and famous individuals, ignoring the essential contribution made by the ordinary soldiers – the bulk of the British army.

Helion and Company, 2019. — 142 p. When the French declared war on Great Britain in 1793, they undermined the chosen policy of William Pitt, which had been to avoid conflict in order to repair the nation’s finances.

Pen and Sword Military, 2021. — 257 p. Over two hundred years ago, on 21 June 1813, just southwest of Vitoria in northern Spain, the British, Portuguese, and Spanish army commanded by the Duke of Wellington confronted the French army of Napoleon’s brother Joseph.

Pen and Sword Military, 2013. — 375 p. The disastrous retreat and near disintegration of Sir John Moores army on the road to Corunna in 1809 is traditionally regarded as the low point in the history of the British intervention in the Peninsular War.

Amberley Publishing, 2015. — 192 p. Sparked by the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars became one of the largest European conflicts in history as Napoleon fought to expand his French Empire.

Cassell Military Paperbacks, 1999. — 194 p. Christopher Duffy's book on Battle of Austerlitz proves to be a short and interesting account. The book is only 170 pages long on narrative and rest of the 24 pages is index, order of battle and other assortive matters. The account of the battle don't start until page 100. The layout is pretty close to what an extended Osprey campaign...
Endeavour Press, 2017. — 90 p. At dawn, Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée was assembled near the tiny village of Austerlitz, some 60 miles from Vienna.

Harvard University Press, 2015. — 337 p. Napoleon’s campaigns were the most complex military undertakings in history before the nineteenth century.

University of Kansas Press, 1994. — 220 p. An impressive contribution to Napoleonic scholarship and to the study of modern military history as well.

Barnsley, UK : Pen & Sword Military, 2016. — 257 p., illus. So great is the weight of reading on the subject of the Waterloo campaign that it might be thought there is nothing left to say about it, and from the military viewpoint, this is very much the case. But one critical aspect of the story has gone all but untold – the French home front. Little has been written about the...
