I need some great books/sources on the Napoleonic Wars. I've had this autism slow boiling since I was about 12 but now I have adult spending power I'm going to go nuts and acquire knowledge

I'll start the thread off with this interesting thing

I'm reading Clausewitz On War so that's one thing.

Then I'll move on to his commentaries on Napoleons campaigns.

Pretty much any biography on Napoleon is going to cover his military campaigns, and having just finished this one, I do recommend it. The author is kind of enamored with Napoleon, so it's important to keep that in mind while reading, but his style is both highly informative and entertaining, so it's just a generally good read.

No its the only one. Proper painting was only invented later
