reviewed The Napoleonic Empire, Second Edition on January 31, 2020 The Napoleonic Empire, Second Edition
This book is a very good simple history covering the lives, from birth to death, of Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolph Hitler. The book breaks each chapter in half dealing with similar periods in the life of each man. It covers the basics while tossing in many interesting side points to keep the reader engaged. I am sure that this book is not ground breaking, but it is an excellent introduction or refresher for students of history. I very much enjoyed the read and look forward to reading it again during the school year.
