Question

Can someone recommend a great book about Napoleon's personal life? Not really interested in the military aspects, although I realize the two are hard to separate.

Also, any good historical fiction on Napoleon or Josephine?

Answer 1

Napoleon A Biography by Frank Mclynn is a good book, it tells about his life and military career.
