Books on Napoleonic History

[Jimmy E.]

Looking for books on the Battle of Austerlitz, I encountered three titles that seem to stand out in the English Napoleonic literary field (not counting Osprey editions or Chandler's The Campains of Napoleon):

- 1805: Austerlitz: Napoleon And The Destruction Of The Third Coalition by Robert Goetz

- Austerlitz: Napoleon And the Eagles of Europe by Ian Castle

- Austerlitz 1805 by Christopher Duffy

I have read the reviews, but would like to ask if any of you have read any of all the books - I would appreciate hearing your opinions.

thanks,

Jimmy

Well, I haven't read the other two but I like Duffy-he is an easy fun read.

Dear Ulsterman,

Thanks for your response - do you think that Duffy made extensive use of primary sources ?
