(3.9 Sterne; 34 Bewertungen)

This is a 'lightning biography' which serves as an introduction to the field of Napoleonic history. Its purpose is to enable the ordinary reader or would-be student safely to take the first few steps in Napoleonic literature. This is not a short history, but a short biography - the one contains the other, but in a different key. (Summary by Beth Thomas and the Introduction) (5 hr 28 min)

I found this informative. It was intriguing to realize how biased the author was in favor of Napoleon, in comparison to modern biases in our society that are so similar. The only rule obvious bias with how the author tried to excuse Napoleon for slaughtering 2000 prisoners of war. As a non-history buff, this was helpful to understand his story.

To general, with too many gaps. it really is too short. too many different readers. not good.
