Hhhahaha


The novel's plot revolves around an invasion of Great Britain by Napoleon Bonaparte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Bonaparte). Temeraire, at first believing his Captain, Will Laurence, to be dead, rouses the dragons of the breeding ground of Pen Y Fan in Wales (to which he has been confined) and turns them into a considerable force. Napoleon lands his men, defeating the Royal Navy with the aid of his "Armée d'Air", and routs the British who retreat to Scotland. Bonaparte then sets about consolidating his position in London as the British fall back. Temeraire and Laurence are subsequently reunited, though Temeraire remains in command of his motley band of dragons, receiving a commission as Colonel.

I was hoping that was a serious answer.... lol

Dragons existed, dont be a hater

[gaijinsamurai]

Six Men of Gascony. Not about Napoleon, but about soldiers in his Gran Armee. By Delderfield.
Also, the Sharpe's series by Bernard Cornwell. Again, not specifically about Napoleon, but his battles against the British, from a British officer's POV.

[G-AWZT]

Any book or article written by Dr. Donald Horward. He used to teach Napoleonic History at FSU and is probably considered the expert on Bonaparte. Horward now teaches at West Point.

Napoleon himself or Napoleonic times?
Try books of polish author Waldemar Lysiak. Also try series about Richard Sharpe by Bernard Cornwell (it's about Napoleonic times).

Very good read!

One of the best books I have read on Napoleon:

http://www.amazon.com/Moscow-1812-Napoleons-Fatal-March/dp/006108686X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267440749&sr=8-6

The Sequel is also interesting

http://www.amazon.com/Rites-Peace-Napoleon-Congress-Vienna/dp/006077519X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267440874&sr=1-3

I'm currently reading Napoleon and his Marshals (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Napoleon-His-Marshals-Lost-Treasures/dp/1853752223), by A.G. MacDonell.

Again, not a biography per se, but a pretty good account of his r-apport with his top soldiers.

Edit: the word "r-apport" (minus the hyphen) is censored...? WTF?

Capitaine Coignet !
auto biography of a grenadier de la garde, from Italy to Waterloo and beyond..

Here's one about his Russian Campaign

"1812 Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow"

by Adam Zamoyski

http://www.amazon.com/Moscow-1812-Napoleons-Fatal-March/dp/0061075582

[Johnny_H02]

It isn't written from Napoleon's perspective but "The Adventures and Exploits of Brigadier Gerard" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is fantastic stuff, its about the bravest and strongest light cavalryman in Napoleons Grand Armee and well worth a read!

Where does Napoleon keep his Armies?


Up his sleevies.
