In this episode, Bernie Campbell follows up his interview with Charles by talking with Alexander Mikaberidze about the books he has found inspiring during his work on the Napoleonic era. It's a really interesting list, since Alex's background has brought him into contact with some interesting works that may not be familiar to the English speaking world!
Links for many 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!
