Drawn from contemporary and modern sources, this 400+ page book begins with a brief chronological account of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars to act as a quick reference. The rest of the volume provides in sharp detail a survey of the basic capabilities and use of the weaponry of the era, a review of each state's participation in those ongoing conflicts, brief biographical notices of some of the leading military leaders, an update on the development of Napoleonic literature, a glossary of military terms, and a section devoted to miscellaneous facts and figures.
