...MILITARY HISTORY AND ATLAS OF THE NAPOLEONIC WARS by Brigadier General Vincent Esposito and Colonel John Robert Elting. Unpaged. Praeger. $19.95. At the heart of this volume are 169 maps, 9 in. by 12 in., originally prepared for use at West Point. The maps begin with "Europe in 1795," end at "Waterloo Campaign: Situation 29 June 1815," and cover every campaign and battle in between.

...grief-stricken Little Doll placed fresh flowers on Big Pasquale's grave. But she had not come from a family called "Little Streaks of Lightning" (because they could fire a pistol so fast) for nothing. That day in the marketplace. Little Doll took her revenge on Tony Esposito with Big Pasquale's own big pistol.
