Napoleon - The Myth, The Battles, The Legends

Rating:
Summary: A great video introduction to the life of Napoleon
Review: While this DVD set lacks finesse in its presentation, it nevertheless captures the life and battles of Napoleon remarkably well. With the assistance of historians from Cambridge and other universities we are led through a good synopsis of Napoleon's life. The recreated battle scenes are a little crude; animation or contemporary art and illustration would have been better, and the DVD set is a tad pricey. If you are history buff, however, you will find it entertaining. A bonus is the complete Memoirs of Napoleon on the DVD in Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Book Reader formats.
