International Napoleonic Society
Literary Awards
The International Napoleonic Society promotes outstanding scholarship in the field of Napoleonic history. Many books on various Napoleonic topics are published each year, and publishers from around the world submit their best examples to compete for the Society's annual Literary Book Award. These books are carefully reviewed by our Literary Committee, which consists of some of the top scholars in the field. The committee, by secret ballot, selects the top two books to receive an award. The President can, if he or she wishes, also select a book for the President's Choice award.
We are pleased to present the winners for each of the years since the inception of the award. Each of these books has met the rigorous criteria expected by the Literary Committee or by the President; they represent a significant contribution to the study of the Napoleonic and Revolutionary period as exemplified by top quality research, originality, style and analysis. The INS congratulates each of these scholars on their commitment and achievement
