Lorraine Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Can anyone suggest a title of an objective biography about Napoleon Bonaparte for me to read? Edited July 19, 2021 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I saw a documentary recently where it was revealed that Napoleon`s penis is very much a real physical thing, in "the hands of a private collector" :lol: (Sorry, my words).Small and leathery, they say, but to be fair, it has been disconnected to a blood supply for about 200 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dream & vapour Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 https://www.andrew-roberts.net/books/napoleon-a-life/ Winner of the Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoleon 2014 (Yes, that's how 'foundation' is spelled in French.) Utilized material from the over 30,000 recently published letters of Napoleon. Before you know it, you'll be delving into Cavalié Mercer's G Troop Royal Horse Artillery's actions at the Battle of Waterloo. Tidbit: Napoleon was of typical height for a Frenchman of his time--5' 6". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine A "protean multitasker." :lol: Poor Josephine. :cool: Thanks for the suggestion. I may just get this one. Found a copy for $8.28. Within budget. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
