I've only just started it but I certainly recommend it too. It received good reviews in BBC History magazine too. |

Seems interesting. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/n ... low-review I was wondering did you "suggest" the book to your son or did he find it by himself? I have discovered that when family members give me a book as a present it's very often a good surprise because they know I like history and military history (and most particularly they know that I love the Napoleonic era) and: 1) it's often about what I like to read but a bit out of the main subject 2) I know I wouldn't think about looking for it because I am more concentrated on certain subjects. For example a few years ago my wife gave me a book about the Italian origins of Napoleon ( Napoléon Et Sarzane - Les Origines Italiennes Des Bonaparte by Federico Galantini) or another year Napoleon de la Mythologie à l'histoire (Napoleon from mythology to history) by Natalie Petiteau I would have never thought about about buying those book on my own. |

Hi David He knows my interest but also knows I have perhaps 200 volumes covering the Period so doesn't often think he can add something new. Seeing this book reviewed just prior to Christmas decided it was worth a punt and he was right
