Although I haven't read this one yet, I have read his "Napoleon and Berlin" which was excellent. The Fall of Napoleon: Volume 1, The Allied Invasion of France, 1813-1814 (Cambridge Military Histories) by Michael V. Leggiere. Jim |

Imperial Sunset. I think by Delderfield or something like that. I'm visiting family in another state so can't go check my copy. But a good overview with lots of annecdotal pieces. Michael |

Michael, I know that title, it is by Delderfield. I skimmed parts of it years ago and had forgotten it. Thanks! Cheers, The Bandit |
