James R. Arnold is a military historian and the author of sixteen books. His first Napoleonic book was Crisis on the Danube (1990) followed by Napoleon Conquers Austria: The 1809 Campaign for Vienna (1995), the winner of International Napoleonic Society Literary Award. Dissatisfied with poor production standards and mainstream publishing’s unwillingness to integrate good maps and photos into the text, in 1998 he and his wife Roberta formed Napoleonic Books in order to produce quality editions of Napoleonic history. Napoleon Books’ first publication was Marengo and Hohenlinden: Napoleon’s Rise to Power (1999) followed by Crisis in the Snows: Russia Confronts Napoleon: The Eylau Campaign 1806-1807 (2007).
