Fascinating podcast
I’m late to this party but The Age Of Napoleon podcast is fascinating and very well researched. I love history and I am thoroughly enjoying each episode.
The Age of Napoleon
The author of this podcast understand human nature, both that part of it which is enduring through the ages and those parts which shift according to the times. He brings this wonderful gift to his topic, and that, along with his vast and detailed knowledge of it, create a peerless instant classic rich in humanity and understanding. A wonderful piece of knowledge and entertainment delivered with crystal clarity. I have not enjoyed a book or a podcast so much for as long as I can remember. Victor Kline, Sydney Australia
Perfect amount of detail and well narrated
This podcast is not for someone who likes to glimpse over history. But for those who like to know more detail behind events, and the consequences of them, this is one of the best podcasts out there. The age of Napoleon helps to understand even decisions and mistakes made by leaders in modern times.
