Napoleonic book picks w/ Charles Esdaile

The Napoleonic Quarterly

While we wait for Season 5 to begin, we at Quartermaster Productions have a series of Bonus Episodes we plan to share with all of you.

In our first episode, Bernie Campbell interviews esteemed panellist Charles Esdaile about the books he has enjoyed and the books he would recommend for listeners interested in a deeper dive into the Napoleonic Era. It was a far ranging and fun conversation. Bernie will soon sit down with Alexander Mikaberidze for his recommendations as well!

Links for all of these books are below! Please know that if you purchase a book from one of our links, Napoleonic Quarterly may earn a commission from that purchase, which we will use to support our mission to bring you as much new and interesting Napoleonic content as possible!
