Well worth a read to see the events of the Revolution (Book 1) and the ensuing period of Napoleon's rule. Gives a very different perspective to this period and to Napoleon. As they say the victors write the history! (Just look at the case of Richard III to illustrate this). Glad I didn't have his family, and you wonder how much of his demise was of their doing and whether events may have been different if he'd stayed married to Josephine. She does come across as a remarkable woman who had a very interesting life. ( ) The back of this describes the book as "the triumphant final volume..." Did the person who wrote that read the same book as me? It was the final volume but I didn't find it triumphant. It was heart-breaking in places and was usually a page-turner. The trilogy was a bit dense, I'm not sure I'll pick up any others by Gulland but they did make for a good read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
