>Whilst on this subject I note - if I read correctly, as the bibliography is not yet published - that Jack Gill’s superb trilogy of the campaigns of 1809 is not referred to by Broers. If so, this must surely constitute a major deficit in terms of the source material consulted. <

A shortcoming of the book, which I think I mentioned before, is that the footnotes tend to concentrate on referring to Napoleon's Correspondance, even though I'm certain Broers is familiar with and is probably mentally using the vast source of recent secondary sources.
