Damn I hope that's good. I've been dying for any literature regarding napoleon, sadly none from the man himself.

Its good. Really interesting basically napolean was a literal cuck for most of his life while he was out conquering italy. It has a decent discussion of his tactics but at times it seems as if Roberts is overly cinematic in his depiction of napolean.

Like when he talks about how 12 year old napolean studies ile st helen its like wow....just like pottery

>most of his life

Like two years.

Anyway OP, I'm currently just over half way through and really enjoying it. It's not very good for battle details or strategy details. But making that comprehensible without a lot of maps is difficult. I would say the book is mostly a character study of Napoleon himself, focusing on his psychology, morals etc.

The cucking may stop but the mentality lives forever.
Its why he lost waterloo fun fact

Its very thorough and very readable. As for the man himself: he is essential Thatchercore

Comes across in the reading to be honest. He praises Napoelons de-regulatoon of french tax code and inter-republic italian trade. Also praces Napoleons thorough fucking of the guilds.

uhh OP order Napoleon the great instead, again by Andrew Roberts because it includes previously unreleased letters, 3000 or so. It's a dense read but it reads like fiction,

Oh hey since this is a Napoleon thread
Is Emil Ludwig's Napoleon any good? I got it for free from a neighbor but am wondering if such a biography is even worth it

It's the same thing except the American version is Napoleon: A Life
