A historical document dictated by Napoleon Bonaparte during his final days on the island of Saint Helena in 1821. His will is very meaningful, his distribution of personal wealth, his political statements and his reflections.

“France, l’armée, tête d’armée, Joséphine.”

I have visited Waterloo, been to his tomb in Paris and reading this was rewarding. He was at the end of the day "Napolon" who marched across Europe. But he did do some good and I have always appreciated learning about him.
