It answers all your questions! The first edition of the
Dictionnaire de la Grande Armee was published in 2002, on the eve
of the great Napoleonic military bicentenary celebrations, which
took place between 2004 and 2015. Since then, a lot of publications
have been brought out; this edition takes this into account and
brings the different sections up to date. The first aim of this
dictionary is to answer amateurs' questions both general and
precise. This book is unique in that it has no equivalent nowadays;
it's a work tool and a reference book which makes often complex and
wide-ranging scattered research easier; it won the Grand Prix
Premier Empire from the Fondation Napoleon when it came out. This
Dictionnaire de la Grande Armee is now an easy, condensed synthesis
which should delight all Napoleon enthusiasts, researchers and
students who are interested in things military. Wherever possible
at the end of the articles, we have indicated the references as
well as the bibliographical route to take in order to refine and
complement the researches. New: in this edition we have 600
biographies of people who had something to do with this military
period, anything of an anecdotal nature which has a link to army
organisation and military memorialists; we have also added 127
biographies of people linked to Napoleonic military history from
the 19th and 20th Centuries, amateurs who were collectors, writers,
historians, painters, etc., like Detaille, Lalauze, Margerand,
Martinien, Rousselot, Saski, Six, etc. This part is completely new.
In this second edition, there are more articles - at least 2 600 -
but they have been padded out and are more precise and in a lot of
cases quite new. The book finishes with a long bibliography. With
all these articles, we hope you will save time in your future
research and that you will discover a lot of new information, not
to mention the pleasure of reading more about the history of this
military epic. This dictionary is a tool which you will use often
and is a must for your bookcase: that's what it's for!
