Collected Wit
Napolean is full of bon mots I have often quoted, wondering where to find the source. This is the source. Comments about conquering the whole world if only he had enough ribbon and his indictment of commanding generals who blame their superiors for ordering them to lead their armies to disaster.

This review is from: How to Make War (Paperback)
The translation itself is fine, there are no issues on this count. The binding and typeset are all in order and attractive as a professionally released publication ought to be. Nothing justifies half the book's total length consisting in a series of barely on topic, asinine marxo-freudo commentary following Napoleon's maxims. It is difficult to pin the publisher's motives down on this count, but leaving the second half of the volume filled with the same number of pages left BLANK would have accommodated annotations and have left the volume at a pleasant size and weight, without the devaluing intellectual nonsense they bothered to add printed on those pages. Buy for Napoleon's words, but not for the second half.
