Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-16 00:00:00 Jason Wilkey I picked this up as a primer and reference for reading War and Peace. Its a good overview and took some of the mystery out of Napoleon and why people drooble so much over him. My only complaint is all the names and never knowing which side is being discussed without flipping rabidly back to the cast of characters in the back.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-12 00:00:00 Songmei Wong My thesis still holds true: the contemporary British cannot seem to write about Napoleon without making him a deranged proto-Hitler. Even the French, who can be too kind to him, have shown far more range. Oh, and this book can be hard to follow unless you are into the era. If you are, as I am, you'll be let down by the lack of interesting ideas.
