Title: Paul I and Napoleon
Product review: An excellent overview of the complicated state of European diplomacy during the Napoleonic Wars through the reign of Russia's Paul I. This book uses many different sources to paint a picture of the time period, even throwing in bits of humor in order to better illustrates some of the personalities involved. Not as large an emphasis on the military aspect, however, it is not ignored. Largely deals with the dealings of Paul I, Napoleon, England and the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand. One of few histories that had a plot twist in the synthesis chapter. A must have for those interested in European history.
