Wait for Napoleon's Movie

Comment comment by jmarkdavison on 13 September 2005

When Napoleon has his own movie he'll get a lot more votes from all you O-Nerds.

The bare fact that he led a country with an otherwise dismal military history--France--to dominate Europe for nearly two decades should give Monsieur l'Emperor the top spot.

Paul Johnson, in his excellent Penguin Lives biography of the short Corsican, says Nap was Hitler without the holocaust. Kind of a new look at someone generally regarded as the greatest military leader of all time, Oliver Stone movies notwithstanding.

RE: Wait for Napoleon's Movie by milhous :: NR5

But couldn't Napolean have trained a 5 year old not go give it all back? Come on people, we're talking about delegation? Napolean was like a common-day micro-manager on steroids....would you want to work for that?
