WARS AGAINST NAPOLEON, THE: Debunking the Myth of the Napoleonic Wars by General Michel Franceschi

wfzimmerman’s review: “This was a gift from my son Parker, which I had asked for, so I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately, it is really not a very good book. The argument in favor of Napoleon is based almost entirely on assertions:essentially, the book says "Napoleon was good," with no facts to back it up.”

The Vanishers by Donald Hamilton

wfzimmerman's review: "Not a bad Helm--or should I say Hjelm, as this one is set mostly in Sweden and has a prolonged excursion into the Helm family tree. A thematic successor to the other Helms that are set in Sweden. Good stuff, but not top-rate Helm."
