From the introduction: "John Sandler's collection of books on Military History of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars has been gathered over a period in excess of 65 years and contains over 5,000 in around 15,000 volumes. In the words of Dr. Donald Horward Director of the Institute of Napoleon and French Revolution in the Department of History at Florida State University in 1983, 'this collection is a tribute to the good judgement and commitment of John Sandler who has accumulated one of the finest personal libraries on the topic in existence'. An early fascination with military uniform at the edge of 6 years and the gift of a book about Napoleon three years later, led to John Sandler developing an intense interest in Napoleon Bonaparte's military career and this manifested as his lifelong dedication to accumulating books relating to this influential period. The collection includes rare journals, correspondence, memoirs, dispatches and diaries of the major military and political figures during the Napoleonic Wars." Near Fine.
