Glynn Stewart has recently finished a history of Japanese role-playing games and Andrew Lambert's No More Napoleons. In the games history, he notices a shift from attempting to cover everything toward choosing what the author considers worth emphasizing. The later portion feels faster and less detailed to him, although he still judges the book very good overall. Lambert's book has also helped crystallize some of his thinking, leading into the subsequent conversation about Napoleon.
