Book Reviews of How to Make War
Book Review: Collected Wit
Summary: 5 Stars
Napolean is full of bon mots I have often quoted, wondering where to find the source.This is the source.
Comments about conquering the whole world if only he had enough ribbon and his indictment of commanding generals who blame their superiors for ordering them to lead their armies to disaster. And others.
Perhaps not everyone views the world as a military metaphor but I do and Buonaparte has a lot to say on the subject.
