Memoirs of Napoleon - Complete; Автор

How can it be that this little artillery officer from Corsica changed the face of the world forever, but less than two hundred years after his death, there are no reviews of his memoirs. More books have been written about him than any other human being in existence, including Jesus Christ, but no one thinks to read the man's own words. His shadow once fell from the Atlantic to Moscow, from the North Sea to Egypt, and high school Honors World History classes cover him in the space of a single day. The world has become such now that were he alive today, I doubt he would want to conquer it--it is no longer worth the effort, no longer worth having. Napoleon filled Europe with widows and orphans, but the world of now does not even deserve a genius or a butcher of his caliber.
