	Books for further reading and sources for the Battle Lists 1792 - 1815 Comments The small red figure you can find on the left of some books indicates the number of the source used in these battle lists. If several works have the same number then these works are part of a whole series. Like all the others this list has to be extended, to be improved and to be completed as much as possible (sometimes also to be cleaned). Your suggestions, comments and critics are always welcome. The works in this list are only ordered by topic but not by anything else (eg. not by language nor by quality nor by importance and also not alphabetically). Most of these books can also be obtained by one of our sponsors (see title page of the Napoleon Series).
