Hi Bernard,
Just to let you and other keen historians know, there are some fantastic videos I’ve discovered on YouTube under the EpicHistory label. While there are other periods explained in gripping detail, quite a few are dedicated to the Napoleonic Wars; I’ve only just watched the Battle of Borodino followed by The Peninsular War. Alongside the narration, digital maps help visualize the battlefields, strategies, and troops movements. Quite handy for those who – like myself – get a bit confused with all the information, and sadly some details get forgotten with the passage of time. I’m a bit more clued up now. I’m hoping to fit in another couple of videos tonight. By the way, I’m also looking forward to reading ‘Sword of Kings’ (but I won’t be doing so until next year as I’ve got an epic reading schedule all worked out!). I’m enjoying my tenth book for this year – set in Roman Hispania during a serious rebellion as the story’s focal point.
