the most challenging aspect seems is to get the basics right and not to ride on mythology, seemingly there are much better presentations now than those run by the ivory tower of academia, a good alternative for refreshing insights are podcast such as the Napoleonicist, Napoleon Quarterly or all those of Real Time History (funny how those later guys got all names correclty pronounced - where academics abysmaly fail.)
