Before heading off on my first holiday to Corsica I wanted to learn more about the history of one of the most important soldiers/ military heroes and this book was so well written I couldn’t put it down. It was a great history lesson without being boring.

A farce. Ends with Napoleon conquering Hades. Did you know there were running shoes in 1895?

Very funny spoof biography of Napoleon, almos Marx-esque at some moments. A nice, easy read.
