...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.

When business is slack, the two wheel off in the hearse to raise the death toll, chew the scenery, and feed each other jokes. But the jokes lack nourishment. Foppishly appraising a coffin, Price sneers: "Nobody in their right mind would be caught dead in that thing." True enough. So Basil Rathbone gets buried alive, while Boris Karloff, in a minor role, eyes his former gloom-mates...
