There are 20 books in the series which cover the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Forget any preconceptions you may have, and just enjoy these books.

This gets a hearty second from me, of course.
I pretty much was forced to start this series at virtual gunpoint. Ah, what I had missed all those years! But it doubly worked to my advantage, as I have the pleasure of them now and they came at a time when I was open to trying audiobooks. In fact, the second book of the series was my first audiobook and what a wonderful introduction to the pleasures of listening.
As good as the books are to read, they're an even better listen. Pure enjoyment.
