This is a fascinating history. We witness the early years and rise of Napoleon (to the year 1805) while having a front-row seat for the Reign of Terror and its implosion and not-so-slow return to a (forever changed) monarchy. One wonders how in the world Napoleon learned to be the great general he was. Was it really just his voracious reading of history? A great irony is Napoleon's mastery of land war coupled with his ineffectiveness in coaxing his admirals to do anything on water. Imagine the outcome if Fate had given France both Napoleon for land and Nelson for the sea.
