Reader Reviews
This review is from: Napoleon on the Art of War (Hardcover)
Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, is one of the Great Captains of history, and ruled as a civilian head of state. He was a true lawgiver, reformer, builder, and patron of the arts. The greatest actor of the day, Talma, was Napoleon's friend. The French Civil Code, the Code Napoleon, is still in effect in France, and it still affects law in Italy, Germany, and Louisiana. Few, if any, in history have shaped an era, and posterity, as did Napoleon, and yet few ever try and find out what he was really like. Jay Luvass has made a gallant effort and largely succeeded. This little gem of a book is a must for every Napoleonic library, large or small, and it is full of the thoughts of the great French Emperor, whose terrible Grande Armee 'stabled their horses in every capitol of continental Europe.' One of the best ways to get to know historical figures is to read what they have written. Most of that for the Emperor is in the volumes of his Coreespondence. Luvaas has done us all a favor by putting some of the best of it in this volume. Only by reading what the Great Man has written can we gain insights into the 'mind and method' as well as the sense of humor, ethics, morals, and personality of one of the most intelligent, fascinating men who ever graced the world stage.
