"He had the iron brain that nothing fatigues, the faultless memory that loses nothing, the clear insight that puts everything in its place with spontaneous accuracy. It was as if a man were to carry Caucasus on his shoulders and with that burden race successfully an express engine, yet note and forecast every step and never falter. To prove that anything in a human body could be capable of such work, is by itself a service to our progress for which we cannot be sufficiently grateful to Napoleon." ~ Sri Aurobindo on Napoleon Thanks for this great video! Best wishes.
You deserve to have a lot more subscribers! I initially thought this was some big channel! The quality of the video is incredible. Kudos! Keep up the good work. I would suggest that you remove those "audience gasping" sound effects..makes the video a bit unprofessional .
Sure. My main source was Andrew Robert's book Napoleon the Great. Also: Napoleon in Egypt by Paul Strathern. Some things I remember from high school as we studied the Napoleonic Wars in detail, so I remember a lot from the books we studied from. I was so fascinated and still am!
Then myth that Napoleon was short came from the fact that he was always surrounded by his Marshals who always wore tall hats making them all look much taller than Napoleon, and thus making Napoleon seem short when in reality he was average height.
