What a fascinating take on the life of Napoleon. Being familiar with his military wins and losses, world travels and imperialistic ambitions, Ive never really felt I understood the man. Christopher Hibber takes us into his familial sagas and personal relationships with not only wives and mistresses, but mother, sisters, sisters-in-law and innocent young women with whom he would not defame. I would recommend this to any historian who would like to fill out the full picture and to any non-historians who will find the high jinx as interesting as any soap opera.
