It's been a while since I've reading on this historic figure. I believe this more or less glorified his reign. But its short enough to brush up on history. Narrator was easy to listen to.

This text did a great job at what it seemed to have sought to accomplish. It’s a great overview of Napoleon, which provided me with more context for further study.
