Paddy Griffith, among modern historians, claims the British infantry's discipline and willingness to attack were equally important. Occasionally, his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone. His style is an invigorating mixture of historical accuracy and emotional highlights, and it makes his narratives, though founded on deep research, often read as smoothly as fiction, especially in his History of the Peninsular War. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering.
Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman was a British military historian of the early 20th century.
