I'm currently reading about an earlier chapter in French history -- via a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte. eppur_se_muova Nov 11 #3

I have only passing familiarity with the details of Napoleon's life and personality. What book are you reading? NNadir Thursday #4

Alan Schom's "Napoleon Bonaparte", from 1997. There may very well be a later edition, or a later work by another author. eppur_se_muova Friday #5
