I didn't used to read biographies, because I felt like the authors would give undue praise to the subjects of their books. After all, if the subject wasn't a "great" person, why read the book? But have no fear, Alan Schom wastes no opportunity to criticize Napoleon. Maybe the sad thing is how much there is to be critical of.

Well so far Napoleon won in Northern Italy because he was aggressive and motivated his poor troops by, uh, promising them lots of loot and women. Meanwhile the invasion of Egypt quickly turned into a catastrophe when Nelson unhelpfully destroyed the French fleet. Interesting about Nelson: as soon as he found the French fleet, he attacked, sailing into a harbor he didn't know and fighting well into the night.
