Napoleon
Great read. It's detailed enough that you get an idea of the events but not so dense that it is a chore to read. Great for people that know little about the man and wants to have a good overview of his life and career. It also feels honest in its portrayal and this almost mythical emperor.
I would be good to have some context of the French Revolution before reading this as you will have a better understanding for his tactics.
