O'Connor tackles what has to be the most difficult part of Napoleonic studies, namely, what was Napoleon's character really like? English language books have always portrayed the French Emperor as first cousin to the devil because he was England's political and military enemy. This is a plainly biased perspective. He wasn't a saint, but he wasn't a demon, either.

O'Connor does a first-rate job of sifting through the wildly varying primary sources about the French Emperor, and gives you a more balanced view than a hundred years' worth of Napoleon biographies have since then.
