Who Was Who in the Napoleonic Wars

Summary: A handy reference of the "Whos" in Napoleon's time.
Review: A handy reference, of the "whos" of the French Revolution and Napoleonic eras, I find myself reaching for again and again. A must companion for Haythornthwaite's Napoleonic Encyclopedia, or for your library in general.

Review: Haythornthwaite's 'Naploleonic Source Book' contains a small biographical section which I had always wished to see expanded. This is it! I have been able to find entries for even the most obscure bit-part players. The author has even given spaces for significant historians and artists of the period (not necessarily living during that period either!) I think this is an imaginative and necessary inclusion. Readers interested in the War of 1812 will not, I think, be disappointed, as there is a generous spread of entries for participants from both sides of that conflict.
