rereading now that i’ve read monte cristo

A fun and informative read of the Horatius Cocles of the French Revolution (i.e. the real life Chuck Norris). The detail to which General Thomas-Alexandre's life has been woven alongside history, reveals how tragic it is we have forgotten this hero. It's a treat to read about the Feat's of Alexander Dumas' father alongside the tales of Edmond Dantes.

Just getting started and already more informative than I imagined. What an impressive man during a difficult time. His upbringing definitely makes for a conflicted approach towards war. Working under and beside Napoleon could have only been accomplished by a man of high regard and with his abilities. Looking forward to getting through this book.
