In the Words of Napoleon: The Emperor Day by Day (The Napoleonic Library) Kindle Edition
A powerful portrait of a complex individual, this book resembles a journal, with Napoleon’s words—derived from his extensive correspondence and other records throughout his life—appearing as dated entries, reflecting his amazing attention to detail as well as his thoughts on war, politics, and the people he interacted with. He addresses matters both worldly import and personal concern, and the unique format allows us to experience events of the period as they happened—and to witness the emperor’s response to the rise and fall of his fortunes.
In addition, scholar Philip Haythornthwaite provides a fascinating introduction that analyzes Napoleon’s words, and includes biographical sketches of the key personalities of the era.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013This is a fascinating read. Napoleon is not the evil ego-maniac that he is so often portrayed as. You will definitely come away with a different view of Napoleon! Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2007Excellent insights in to how Napoleon thought as things actually happened. Only fault is there are no sources so you can't judge what is reliable and what is not. But a worthwhile addition to any Napoleonic library.
