With this biography I think Penguin Lives shortchanges the reader regarding the subject. With Napoleon there are just too many critical events and too many interpretations of his impact on European history for any interested reader to be satisfied with such a short volume. In addition, I think Paul Johnson betrays a decided bias in his interpretation of certain key events in the narrative.
Readable, but one-sided...
