Campbell, Sir Neil (Jonathan North, Edited).Ravenhall Books, 2004 First Edition. 208p, 29 b&w illus. As new condition HB with dust jacket.''In April 1814 Napoleon Bonaparte, one time emperor of France and master of Europe, was exiled to the island of Elba. Colonel Neil Campbell was instructed to accompany the fallen monarch. Part guardian, part spy, Campbell monitored Napoleon and kept an observant watch on the comings and goings of his confidents and much reduced household staff. He eavesdropped on the island's gossip, conversed almost daily with Napoleon, attempted to gain his trust and sought to gauge his intentions. For a year, Campbell kept an intimate diary of events on the tiny island. It paints character studies of all the key personalities and wades into island gossip with relish. It records events as Napoleon builds an empire in miniature on Elba and it keeps an eye on the coming and going of agents and would-be assassins. Frank and enlightening it also reveals much about the personality of Napoleon and of the tensions and subterfuge within the exiled community as Napoleon devises and implements his plans for an escape. The vivid diary is now published in a new accessible edition and it is essential reading for anyone with an interest in this era when the fate of empires hung in the balance.'' £9.99 (+ postage: £3.99) War to the Death: Sieges of Saragossa 1808-1809 War to the Death: The Sieges of Saragossa 1808-1809By Rudorff, Raymond.Pen & Sword, South Yorkshire, 2006.

Among the half a million men who crossed the border, was Albrecht Adam, a former baker, a soldier and most importantly for us, a military artist of considerable talent. As the army plunged ever deeper into a devastated Russia, Adam sketched and painted. In all, he produced 77 colour plates of the campaign, and they are as fresh and dramatic today as the day they were produced. The memoirs which accompany the plates, form a candid text describing the war Adam witnessed. Attached to IV Corps, he was present at all the major actions, and saw the conquerors march triumphantly into Moscow - and their ignominious retreat through the punishing Russian winter.'' £14.99 (+ postage: £4.99) Russian Officer Corps in Revolutionary/Napoleonic The Russian Officer Corps in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 1792-1815By Alexander Mikaberidze Spellmount Publishers Ltd, 2005.

Introduction) Greenhill Books, 1997. One in the Napoleonic Library series. As new condition Hardback with DJ (un-clipped). 517 pages.''Muffling's memoirs provide an exceptional first-hand account of the Napoleonic Wars by one of Prussia's finest general staff officers. Muffling is best known in the English-speaking world as General Blucher's liason officer in Wellington's headquarters during the Waterloo campaign, and as such he was one of the architects of the final victory over Napoleon. However, his military career involved much more than this, proving him a brilliant general staff officer, although not always popular with his contemporaries. He made a major contribution to the development of the Prussian General Staff - the first to exist in the modern sense - and was also fascinated by military topography and cartography. Muffling covers everything from his early posts in 1805 and his account of the battle of Jena in 1806 through to the Waterloo campaign to the Waterloo campaign in 1815 and his diplomatic role at the Congress of Aix-la-Chappelle at the end of the wars. His memoirs are a valuable primary source, as they are one of the few accounts written by a senior Prussian officer in the Napoleonic Wars to be translated into English.'' £19.99 (+ postage: £3.99) The Jena Campaign 1806The Jena Campaign 1806By Colonel F.N.

The period opened with an untrained French citizen army defying an alliance of major powers, and climaxed with France controlling the whole of continental Europe. It was the flexibility and tactical brilliance of Napoleon that burst the straitjacket of formal 18th century land warfare.
