The drier and fatter the book the better. I have a great attention span and I do not like to read overly sensational history written by authors trying to be hip. I'd also prefer something more recent simply because I know older authors were more racist, classist & sexist, and because of that I would be missing out, potentially. I'm interested in the stuff that happened on the Continent, primarily France, Russia, and Spain. (Including the Peninsular war which is not technically a Napoleonic war) as I know more than I ever wanted to about the Royal Navy. If it helps I'm doing research for a creative project, I want to drink from a firehose when it comes to information.
