Review the latest book you have read

Napoleon - a biography by Frank McLynn.

After going to Corsica and reading a book about Napoleon's campaign in Egypt I picked up this one (and another one about his fall) and started reading. Now into page 400something and man, what a life. I even got my interest back in Napoleon Total War as I now recognize marshalls and try to collect them all. They randomly spawn inbetween generals.

Anyways, very well done book by mister McLynn, sharp writer who slashes the myths around him. As with any person, he wasn't picture perfect and he did ruin himself in the end. Definitely a recommendation for those who want to know Napoleon.

Amazing book. Read it if your interested at all in the Vietnam war. Seriously, great book.
It gives a great perspective of a soldiers view of the war.
8.7/10
