I would wish to formally dissociate myself from Osprey Military Publishing and any books I have written for them. Having put in lots of work to bring new material to its audience (rather than rehashing third hand nonsense like many authors) and having helped several other authors, they presumed to write lies about me on their site. Likewise, it seems that unless you subscribe to the whooping end of US society, you don't count for anything. They exploit British and European sacrifice in war to make money, yet seem obsessed with the US - good luck when the USD bombs after all the money printing.

Do you want to know why there is no Austrian Tactics book? Simple, Osprey would rather pander to a few Rednecks than publish anything worthwhile. That is all those posters on TMP achieved - well, aside from saving me a lot of work.

So, please do not buy any of my Ospreys. I have sold mine and sent the money to a military charity.

Please do buy the P&S book: Armies of the Napoleonic Wars as it is a good overall summary and for Austria, I have summarised much of my new research. Only an idiot like Kevin Kiley, who has lied and fabricated material in his book, while waging a bizarre 12 year campaign against me, seems not to like it plus his little Scouse mate, Walsh. It is a shame that some people simply wish to shout down proper research and new information, which the vast majority of readers do appreciate.
