Napoleon Bonaparte : A Life

Rating:
Summary: Napoleon is not Hitler
Review: Why is it that when I was done reading this book, the author left a feeling that Napoleon was some sort of a warmongering scumbag, a 19th century version of Adolf Hitler with no redeeming value? I was bit shocked at the level of bias that the author had against Napoleon. Actually I shouldn't be since I read couple of his earlier books and they were definitely anti-Napoleon in nature. To called this book a "hatchet job" on Napoleon cannot be too far from the truth. The author really seem to distaste Napoleon and I am afraid that make him totally unfit to write his biography. If you hate Napoleon, then this book is for you. If you want a more fair and objective biography, please look else where.
