Thank You

Thanks to everyone who ordered from our new book service. We realize that you can buy your Napoleonic books from many places. However, when you select even just one of your yearly acquisitions from Napoleon Journal, you are helping us to continue publishing the magazine and start our own line of books.

We are preparing to publish several important works that have never appeared in English. We are also working on updating great books that have been out of print for years, adding new maps. etc. We hope to have more details about our first titles in the next issue.

Starting next issue we plan to institute mini-reviews as well as continue with our standard book reviews.
