didnt know what this was. it seems that its a history textbook with the author also performing the audio book.
ITS REALLY GOOD.
I mean its a textbook and the book is really short. But it tackles directly the bone of the situation.
I found the website for this and the website is designed for homeschool which i do feel its pretty good as an introduction to Napoleon.
If you are thinking this book goes in depth, no; its a decent resume of the French revolution and Napoleon's deeds.

Covered a lot of ground for such a short book. I like that he gave opposing views of Napoleon. I also like that he mentioned that Napoleon had two sides: good and bad.
