Acknowledgments




IN WORKING OUTthe revised history of the campaign of 1806, I have relied especially onThe
Campaigns of Napoleon , by David G. Chandler, andA Military History and Atlas of the Napoleonic
Wars , by Brigadier General Vincent J. Esposito and Colonel John R. Elting, both of which share the
virtue of enabling even an amateur to grasp at understanding. Mistakes and implausibilities are my own;
any accuracy may be laid at their door.

Many thanks to my beta readers on this one for all their help: Holly Benton, Francesca Coppa, Dana
Dupont, Doris Egan, Diana Fox, Vanessa Len, Shelley Mitchell, Georgina Paterson, Sara Rosenbaum,
L. Salom, Rebecca Tushnet, and Cho We Zen. I am as ever indebted to Betsy Mitchell, Emma Coode,
and Jane Johnson, my splendid editors, and to my agent, Cynthia Manson.

And most of all, to Charles.
