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.

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".
