Title: Napoleon lite
Review: This is a well-written biography of Napoleon that hits the highlights of the first part of his career. It appears to cover just about all of the events of his life to the battle of Austerlitz, and it does so in a fairly breezy style that doesn't spend a lot of time discussing the boring, mundane details. Even the military sections are rather quickly written, and you don't get bogged down in the intricate details of strategy, which to me is a definite plus. There were a few typos in the book, and my copy did not have the endpaper maps (which annoyed me), but I didn't hold that against the author. I'm looking forward to the second part of this biography, and will definitely buy it when it is published.
