We are please to announce that, as a result of the evaluations by the Committee, composed of David Gates, David Markham, Jeanne Ojala, John Severn, and D.D. Horward the following awards have been made:

First Price of $2,500 is awarded to Alexander Grab for his volume, Napoleon and the Transformation of Europe, published by Palgrave Macmillan, 175 Fifth Ave , New York , NY 10010 .

Second Prize of $1,500 is awarded to Adam Zamoyski for his volume, Moscow 1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March, published by Harper Collins, 10 East 53 rd Street , New York , NY 10022-5299


This year the PRESIDENT’S CHOICE AWARD of $1,000 was awarded to Alexis Suchet for his volume, Napoléon et le Management, published by Tallandier, 2004, 18, rue Dauphine , 75006 Paris.

Each of these publications has met the rigorous criteria established by the Literary Committee; they represent a significant contribution to the study of the Napoleonic and Revolutionary period as exemplified by the quality of research, originality, style, and analysis. It is a pleasure to congratulate each of these scholars on their commitment and achievements.
