Trying to get some Napoleonic memoirs. 4,5,7 and the atlas for Massena are on order, so just need 6.
Can't find the other 7 of Marmont I need in this set though

Got my hands on the silver one since. Shows Wellington meeting Blucher, a wounded Prince of Orange, and the shadow of Napoleon looming over all

Have been reading into Lord Mountbatten lately. Certainly think the Lownie book is the best, if also the most damning at times with it's evidence
