"Actually, Herold is an excellent period historian and his books are quite good.His The Mind of Napoleon is excellent."
If Herold was really an excellent period historian he would surely be aware that King George's army was British, not English.
'The Mind of Napoleon' is just a collection of of Napoleon's written and spoken words. The assembly of excerpts must require a certain discernment, but I'm not sure it can qualify the selector as an excellent historian.
That aside, my curiosity was piqued by the quotation from 'The Age of Napoleon' which appears in that rather footling website:
"The English soldier was probably the worst-treated soldier in Europe, and judging from the English casualty rates during the Napoleonic wars, English generals were more lavish with their soldiers' lives than were their French and German colleagues."
What statistics could have underlaid this rather surprising factoid? I had a look in the book, only to discover that it contains no footnotes, nor is any justification for the statement offered in the text. It is just a bald assertion. I don't think I will be hurrying to read anything else by J. Christopher Herrold.
Incidentally, the sentence immediately preceding the one quoted above may not endear him quite so much to enthusiastic Bonapatistes – it reads:
"As Wellington was to demonstrate in Spain and at Waterloo, there was nothing which could break the famous British 'thin red line' – this phenomenon Napoleon attributed to the beneficial effect of flogging, which was practised quite liberally in the British army" [sic, 'British' in this sentence].
