(3 stars)

It's been a while since I've reading on this historic figure. I believe this more or less glorified his reign. But its short enough to brush up on history. Narrator was easy to listen to.

good short story of Napoleon


(5 stars)

Lessons I learnt from this amazing story. 1) Be bold and believe in yourself. 2) if people don't crown you, feel free to crown yourself a king 3) when you're weak don't fight. 4) Anticipate disaster before they arise.. 5) if you want to be a king, you must be worth being a king by following the process..
