One cannot deny the enthusiasm and symphatetic approach with which Vincent Cronin, sources at hand, tells us about Napoleon Bonaparte.Cronin's Napoleon is a human and idealist character, who dispenses painful pinches to his wife's and soldiers' cheecks, sucks throat pastilles on the plains of Austerlitz, sings sentimental tunes off key, and, as a classical hero, finds himself tragically unable to escape the boredom and fatal disease of his last exhile. One of the best biographies on the Empereur, not to be missed.
