Napoleon Series (online), June 2007 Gareth Glover does his normal superb job of bringing to life the numerous people, places, and events noted in passing in the text. His short sketches of most of the British officers that are mentioned by Griffiths or Philips help flesh out many of the people they interact with on a daily basis. Fortunately, these sketches are in the form of footnotes instead of endnotes, which is much easier for the reader to read them without losing his place in the text ... This book is an excellent read and is a must-buy for those interested in the British Army or the Peninsular War.
