Napoleon

Napoleon I, French general, first consul (1799-1804), and emperor of the French (1804-1814/15), one of the most celebrated personages in the history of the West. He revolutionized military organization and training; and sponsored the Napoleonic Code, the prototype of later civil-law codes. This book has been recommended by Robert Greene (author of The 48 Laws of Power and The 33 Strategies of War).
Seeing as Mr. Greene has dedicated almost his entire life to understanding the essence of what made Napoleon great, I wouldn't refute his advice. So, if you want to know about one of the greatest leaders of men, read on and enjoy!!!
