1.		Swords Around A Throne from Da Capo Press Price: $16.50 Customer Review: I will be short. I've been wargaming the Napoleonic period for more then half a century (in the beginning in a quite crude a la Well's way I fear...). Consequently I have read a lot of books on the subject and the present one would have shortcut a lot of them!... I would have deleted the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Amateurs, To Arms!: A Military History Of The War Of 1812 (Major Battles and Campaigns) from Da Capo Press Price: $7.95 Customer Review: In John R. Elting's account of the War of 1812, it is pretty clear as to why this subject is almost completely ignored by American history texts at the secondary education level. This war doesn't exactly fit the glorified version of "just and moral" wars that our nation only fights in, or so we are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.	[no image]	NAPOLEONIC UNIFORMS: 2 Volume Boxed Set from Casemate Price: $218.27 Customer Review: Beautiful fabric covered books and slip case with gold lettering look like they belong in a classic library. Content is of course the best reprint of plates. Cost can put many off, but the tremendous amount of content could only be made up with 15+ other uniform books, making it a decent value	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.	[no image]	Battles for Scandinavia (World War II #28) from Time Life Education Price: $63.67 Customer Review: This is a great summary of WW2 in the Scandinavian theatre and, like all Time-Life Books, the photos are truely excellent. If this aspect of WW2 history is of interest to you, it's a great intro or summary. The book starts of with a good potted bio of Marshall Carl Gustav Mannerheim, the Finnish... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.	[no image]	Military Uniforms in America, Volume I: Era of the Revolution: 1755-1795 (v. 1) from Presidio Press Customer Review: This is one of the best, if not the best, study of uniforms worn during the period of the American Revolution. Prepared by The Company of Military Historians and featuring such reliable and accurate artists as H. Charles McBarron, Frederick Todd, Clyde Risley, Herbert Knotel, and Eugene Leliepvre,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		A Military History and Atlas of the Napoleonic Wars from Greenhill Books Customer Review: This book is definitive, and remarkably useful. It is an absolutely necessary companion to the study of Napoleon's military career. It is curiously shaped (with pages wider than they are long) formatted so that when the book is open the right hand page displays a map showing a military situation... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	The Superstrategists: Great Captains, Theorists, and Fighting Men Who Have Shaped the History of Warfare from Macmillan Pub Co Price: $165.32 Customer Review: How many of us have actually read about such military leaders as Marshal Berthier, Turenne, The Chevalier de Folard, and Fox Connor? Undoubtedly not too many of us. John Elting has done all of us a great favor with this little gem of a book that gives us the experts in warfare since the ancient... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Military Uniforms in America: Years of Growth, 1796-1851, Vol. 2 from Presidio Press Customer Review: This second volume in a four volume series telling the story of military uniforms worn by the combatants in the different wars in North America is simply superb. It covers a period that is not popular, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, but it is a period that is full of high deeds, great... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.	[no image]	The Battles of Saratoga (Philip Freneau Press Bicentennial Series on the American Revolution.) from Phillip Freneau Pr Customer Review: A fabulous book. It must be brought back into print. It inspired my July 4 Walking tours of Lower Manhattan. Even though I disagree with statements at the end about General Horatio Gates, it is absolutely first class. James S.
