Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Gamble

@AndrewBucholtz @FredKiesche Me too. I started with Cornwell's "Waterloo", which gave a good overview of that battle. Now I'm reading Andrew Roberts' "Napoleon The Great" (a biography), and David Chandler's "Campaigns Of Napoleon" (an overview of the battles), both of which are really good so far (and long).

I am almost through the 1,000 page "Napoleon, A Life" by Andrew Roberts. What a captivating book about a fascinating man in a complex time and place. I've been loving it. I find it to be the literary equivalent of comfort food. https://t.co/Dm6sD9zgEx

@DanThurot I'm really enjoying what I'm reading at the moment, "Crécy: The Battle Of Five Kings" by Michael Livingston. Also, Afred Lansing's "Endurance" is a must read for just about anyone interested in exploration or survival stories. Amazing. You?

@playersaidalex I read it and was impressed. I know Dan Jones from his "Castles Of Great Britain" TV series which I enjoy, but he's also an excellent writer. I went in to also read his "The Hollow Crown".

@vitallacerda @GameMinimalist Fair enough. Sounds like more of a tech tree, but over generational amounts of time. That kind of reminds me of the old James Burke series "Connections".
