Editorial Reviews

Product Description
4 illustrations 6 x 9. This is the first complete English translation of Baron Fains memoirs, which have been hailed as the finest existing record of Napoleons organization. Fain worked intimately with Napoleon from 1806 to 1815 and describes in detail the emperors work habits and the functioning of his imperial cabinet at the height of the empire. Besides making fascinating reading, this work is a valuable resource for both the academic researcher and the modern executive who seeks insight into the genius of an empire-builder.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strictly for the Napoleonophile, September 21, 1998
By A Customer
Baron Fain must be the ultimate fawn. His memoirs are a paean to Napoleon's genius. However, the details of Napoleon's Govt Apparatus are all here and there are nuggets of anecdotal information that one could revel in.
