Abstract

The article discusses the release of the second volume of the Cambridge History of the Napoleonic Wars trilogy, titled "Fighting the Napoleonic Wars." The volume focuses on the military aspects of the conflict and is organized into five parts, covering topics such as warfare, armies and navies, logistics, and Napoleon's campaigns. The volume provides a broad European perspective on the Napoleonic Wars and argues that the conflicts were a powerful agent of change but did not revolutionize military affairs. While the volume primarily focuses on the great powers of Britain and France, it offers a valuable collection of essays for both newcomers and veteran readers of the period.
