Revue de presse

'In our time,' Napoleon is reported to have said to an aide in 1796, 'no one has the slightest conception of what is great. It is up to me to give them an example.' Neil Wenborn's Napoleon In a Nutshell explores the man behind the myth, not easy when, as his secretary wrote: 'Each of us, without ceasing to be honest, can show a different Napoleon.' An enjoyable and painlessly informative listen, with Rupert Degas a splendid narrator. --Kati Nicholl, Daily Express
