I never watched the TV series or read the books - I just assumed it was just a load of light entertainment guff. Then I read in a thread elsewhere about how good & popular they are round these parts - more faction than fiction.
Is this the case?
Are they any good?
Will my (somewhat lacking) knowlesge of the Napoleanic era be enhanced?
What order should I read them in? (checked in Ottakers today, there's 18 of em)
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
