This books provides an excellent overview of the Napoleonic Era. It greatly helps readers understand the reasons way various campaigns were fought, their course and the battles involved, and their aftermaths. I strongly recommend this reference to anyone interested in the age of Napoleon, especially novices with little background in the Era.

I am a military history buff. I've always been interested in the Napoleonic Era, but I've had a hard time getting into it. The age has always seemed so confusing with the massive numbers of nations involved and the constantly switching alliances. This book has been a god-send. It clearly and concisely describes the course of all of the major campaigns of this period (1789-1815) and backs up the descriptions with numerous, colorful maps. In just a few nights this book has been able to help me feel competent about the course of the Napoleonic Wars. Readers familiar with the period will not gain as much from it as newcomers, but it should still be a handy desk reference.

Historical Atlas Of The Napoleonic Era is a beautiful and exciting presentation of French conqueror Napoleon's life, ambitions, battles, military genius, and legacy. Full-color maps, artworks and illustrations on every page add a visceral touch to descriptions of battles, Napoleon's tactics, and also his most costly mistakes. Though Napoleon's warfare spread misery to many, his dream of a unified Europe persisted long after his passing and is realized today, at least in part, by an increasingly synchronized Europe and the introduction of a single European currency. Historical Atlas Of The Napoleonic Era is an exciting and detailed chronicle of a turbulent era in European history, and a welcome addition to personal and library history collections.

This Atlas is without a doubt the best Napoleonic Wars Atlas I've ever purchased and I have 3 others. It is well written , well illustrated and very informative. A definite winner , right alongside the previous best and will replace Phillip Haythornthwaites as my number one reference

This book is great for reading and easily understanding the Napoleonic Era. Amazing maps with easy to follow text. I would recommend it to all who want to know more about Napoleon.
