Phipps has a fairly limited perspective, he is chiefly interested in the early careers of Napoleonic Marshals. Fortescue is a pretty good starting point for the British involvement, then there are various memoirs relating to specific campaigns. Old stuff like Alison and Cust can give you a good overview but are rather dated and i wouldn't take any of it for gospel. Plenty of stuff online, especially of you read French.

Another vote for Bayonets of the Republic by Lynn

Another vote for George Nafziger's collection of materials on the French Revolutionary Wars; or darn near any other war for that matter.
