Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-21 00:00:00 John Edwards Author has obviously been a lifetime Napoleon aficionado. Lean and mean, not too much boring detail, the format is good. Nice balance between the hard history and the inamoratas. Since the author is so well qualified, I did not mind the speculation and trivia. I do have a gripe. Egotistical use of first person, with unnecessary lines like "As I have already explained in Chapter 13." But more a crime is deliberate bad English: "That was dumb." And ingratiating chat: "Like THAT was ever going to happen!"

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-23 00:00:00 Sandeep Singh Short on anecdotes and only gives the Louisiana Purchase a passing mention, but an excellent starter book for anyone wanting to know the basics about the Emperor Bonaparte.
