Acknowledging the extraordinary talents of the man who defined an age (1789-1821) and the remarkable men and women who peopled and shaped it, the Napoleon Series seeks to promote the continued, scholarly exploration of that age.  The Napoleon Series is dedicated to the free exchange of ideas and information with good will, intellectual integrity, and respect for divergent perspectives, journeying in international fellowship to probe and illuminate the history of an era whose reverberations still echo today.

I am very pleased to announce that the Napoleon Series has entered into a publishing venture with Richard Brown of Ken Trotman Ltd to publish books that are of great value to the Napoleonic scholar and enthusiast! The first title in this new venture appeared in 2007 and will consist of historical reprints and some modern works. Our next reprint will be a new edition of Hew Dalrymple Ross's Memoir. Ross commanded A Troop of the Royal Horse Artilley during much of the Peninsula War and at Waterloo. It is edited by Howie Muir and is due out in early 2008. For more information about the project click on The Napoleon Series - Ken Trotman Joint Publishing Venture!
 
Interested in Contributing a Paper to the Napoleon Series? We have developed a writing and style guide! The following guidelines are to be used for all contributions to the Napoleon Series website. This includes articles, book reviews, commentaries and other material. They were developed so that all contributions published by the Napoleon Series will have a uniform look and to minimize the amount of time required to format the papers for the internet.  Unless given prior approval by the editor, all papers must follow these guidelines.  Those papers that do not follow these  guidelines will be sent back to the author for revision.

This guide is not intended to limit the content of any contribution; rather it is designed to aid authors in properly formatting their articles and to reduce the amount of time spent editing the articles.

A copy of the guide can be found at: Napoleon Series Format and Style Guide
 

La Batterie des Hommes sans Peur 2006: Although we are all volunteers, we do have quite a few expenses every year to stay operational. The Napoleon Series relies heavily on the financial generosity of its readers to pay its bills. In order to show our appreciation of those who provide support, we have created an honor roll to be known as "La Batterie des Hommes sans Peur".
