Review 34: Resolute Determination: Napoleon and the French Empire (Donald M. G. Sutherland)

Good as a general introduction to the life of Napoleon, and the expansion and then Fall of the French Empire. However, not much depth, nor is there much detail to the portrait of the man.

The lecturer takes a balanced and wise approach to history. He doesn't buy into fad-ish views, or over-subtle interpretations. In this way, he is a model for other historians.
