I think Napoleon knew about Charles XII. Every european nation wanted Charlex XII as their allied and the great european nations all tried to pursuade Charles XII to join their side in the Spanish war of succesion. So, the wars of Charles XII did not pass by in the dark. Hey, after six years of constant victories the swedish army was considered one of the best in europe. Every one knew and feard Charles XII.

About books on the subject, this is what I found in a brief search.

"Sweden may not be considered a great European power today, but several hundred years ago it emerged - albeit briefly - as a strong empire that rivaled the equally developing Russia. This list selects the best books for readers wanting to learn about early modern, modern and imperial Swedish history."
