Napoleon Paperback – 31 May 2016

I had previously read a book by Alexander Kennedy about Thomas Edison and I thought it was a brilliant short and informative read. When I saw the biography of Napoleon Bonaparte I knew I had to read it and add it to my Kindle Book collection.First of all, this is a short introductionary biography, much like the Edison book, so in my opinion it is a great must-read for absolutely everyone. Napoleon Bonaparte was French political and military leader and probably one of the most iconic and interesting historical figures.In this book Kennedy talks about Napoleon’s childhood, history and some of the tactics he used in his battles. The most interesting part for me was to read about his troubled marriage, his suicide attempt, and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. I must admit I didn’t know a lot about this great man and was very surprised by the facts I found in this book.“Napoleon: A Life of Conquest” is a really good book, well written, interesting, packed with facts and not as long as some biographies tend to be. It gives you opportunity to explore the life of a great conqueror and I will definitely keep an eye out for more books written by Alexander Kennedy in the future. It makes me very happy to be able to learn more about great historical figures without investing a massive amount of time.Please note that I received this product for free in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Very nicely written and informative read. I didn't know very much about Napoleon from the start so I have learnt a lot, Being able to read books on my phone via the Kindle app has been great and has encouraged me to read a lot more.I was easy to keep concentration whilst reading the book as it is short and to the point, which made for a delightful read. It was great to not only learn about him, but his family and background too. Reading this has encouraged me to want to look into more historical figures and really learn what shaped the world to be what it is today. The book has not only taught me, but inspired me too.I was kindly given a discount to review this book. It was very much an enjoyable read and worth the money. I will be looking into reading other titles in the future.
