After fifty years of study, Napoleon appears to me as neither angel nor beast, but as human, all too human: our brother -- our Big Brother -- a creature of strong but ailing flesh, lean and sulphurous in youth, paunchy and lardy in middle life; not a very good husband, who married two not very good wives; a martinet, an incomparable efficiency manager, with an addiction to gambling and gigantic dreams. - Foreword.
