Desaix, upon his arrival in Paris, found letters for him there from the First Consul. As he read the confidential lines, he was struck with the melancholy air with which they were pervaded. "Alas!" said he, "Napoleon has gained every thing, and yet he is unhappy. I must hasten to meet him."

interesting but confusing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Napoleon Bonaparte (Kindle Edition)
This is a good overview of Napolean's rule. The only real complaint I have is the long paragraphs, and no chapters. There are no breaks it seems. However this book originally was written a while back so part of it could just be style. Another thing is one second you feel like you're reading a history text book the next it's like historical fiction.
I was pleased for the fact that I was just interested in knowing more about him but wasn't overly impressed either.
