November Book Reviews: Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell
Non-recreational reading. May I say, this does exactly what it says on the tin, and admirably so. Bell manages to get through the entire biography of Napoleon in a lean, mean 113 pages. Meanwhile, other historians are writing a thousand pages (literally, it’s mentioned in the introduction) and only getting as far as 1803. And as a bonus, it avoids both hero-worshipping and vilifying the man-- and skims lightly over the battles and focuses on why they were important, rather than giving us a play-by-play.
