It’s because Ridley Scott didn’t care about doing Napoleon justice. He just wanted add to his film legacy that he has made a Napoleon “Epic”. He literally told the historical community to “shut up” and “get a life”. Accuracy and faithful depiction was clearly not his priority.

It's interesting you mentioned Sun Tzu. His most influential line is "the greatest victory is to win without deploying a single soldier". I completely agree with you about how Napoleon revolutionized warfare at the time. I think Napoleon's greatest blunder was exactly what Sun Tzu said above. In other words, Napoleon fought too much; from Italy to central Europe to Spain and to Russia. He fought too much and so his enemies learned how Napoleon operates and his fighting style. As the coalition learned from their failures, it was able to out maneuver Napoleon. My 2 cents

Sun Tzu is a good story on paper, nothing in the art of war has any bearings on reality, they are ideals and thought experiments and make for catchy phrases without substance. Napoleon is Pragmatism, Pragmatism unlike Idealism is very much based on reality and real experiments, and reality means that you can't avoid failure even in success.Napoleon had the Panache to face both success and failure willingly instead of hiding behind the perfect dogmas of the ideal world, and that will alone made him one of the greatest figures in history.

There's no any doubt in the guy's ambitions and such, but to be fair he wanted peace near the end of his life. Like the russia invasion was a complete bad call, but the waterloo and most of his fights, he was on defense side. But I agree with your point, It's interesting that he never thought about that eventually will someone read his hand.

Napoleon, whist leading his Grand Armee from the very front, had his horse shot out from beneath him. He simply grabbed another horse and resumed his lead. This incident happened to Napoleon several times according to Baron Roberts of Belgravia. Just a larger than life man and a once in a 100 years or more personality.

That's got to be hard on the horses, though, eh, Suave Savant? Many officers pulled off that stunt, and not just the famous generals. Of course, most soldiers did this before they became senior officers. Napoleon was mostly a horse's ass, a failed general who depopulated France, destroyed its economy, betrayed it's soldiers, and left the people in even worse conditions than he found them when he started his disastrous career. If you don't believe me, go to St. Petersburg in Russia, and visit the Museum of Atheism, located inside a beautiful cathedral. There you will see the battle flags of many of Napoleon's famous corps. How did they get there, I wonder? If Napoleon had been a great general, or even a competent one, he never would have lost his war against the Russians in 1812. This is one of the greatest defeats in military history. Napoleon was a rash, incompetent general, who was horrible at logistics. France never had a good navy while he lead France. He had no strategic vision for France. He gambled with the destiny of France, like a drunk guy throwing dice at a craps table! And guess what, Suave? He lost it all! Viva la France, the people say? Napoleon Buonaparte said Viva Las Vegas!

As a French, I’m willing to concede that Napoleon can’t (or at least shouldn’t) be viewed as objectively good or bad. I struck up a conversation with a French history/philosophy teacher once, and she asked me why I consider Napoleon to be a hero. My gut reaction was to mention his awe-inspiring rise to power, stemming from sheer boldness, ambition and honor to fight on the battlefield. His genius as a military strategist, and effectiveness as a statesman, through his Code. The way he spread French ideals from the Enlightenment; he would tell the people of the lands he conquered “I seek only to free you from the shackles of your past oppressors.” It’s just not characteristic of world leaders. However, as you point out, there was also a decline. Beethoven once said he stopped revering Napoleon as anything more than a common human once he crowned himself emperor, a sentiment I can understand. The best and simplest way for the world to characterize him (imho) is that there was young/thin Napoleon and old/fat Napoleon. We love what he did as the former, hate what he did as the latter.

You are a great man, Robert. I've read 48 laws of power by audiobook in 1 day. Also read 33 Strategies and 50th law I'm on currently. Do you have any list of other books you see as invaluable for someone interested in your books? Thank you

All his books (except 48 Laws, if memory serves) have bibliographies in the back and all the books on these lists are pretty good I’ve found. He’s made videos about his favourite books, Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Thucydides “The Peloponnesian War” are two books I’ve heard him suggest more than once.

The way you describe the Napolean's downfall, it sounds like what happens when entrepreneurs become CEOs of billion dollar corps, or what happens at the end of football games when the team winning by two scores goes into conservative "prevent" defense mode and ends up giving the game away in the last four or five minutes (sometimes less) of game clock time.

Do you think Chinggis Khaan was an example of resisting that urge to control everything during his reign? My understanding is that the Mongol Empire was doing quite well when he passed away.

What did people expect, its impossible to capture such a storied life and career in the duration of a feature length film. There are feature length films devoted to *single battles* Napoleon fought, like Waterloo. Should have been a series. Even then it's hard, "Rome" was two seasons and still had to leave a lot of details out of Caesar's career, the show starts with his return from Gaul and the surrender of Vercingetorix. Would have been neat to see his initial rise to power in his first Consulship and all the politicking that went on with the Triumvirate and the bills Caesar was trying to get passed in the Senate. If one wants to understand *why* Caesar seized power, his first Consulship holds the answer.

He’s also featured in The Art of seduction, indirectly by explaining Josephine’s antics. Loved to know that Napoleon was a man after all his greatness, vulnerable to the power of a woman.

Everything said was okay, but I Disagree with taking Vladimir Putin as an evil example... Why can't we take him as another example in addition to Napoleon. He has his own side of the story as well... Let's not demonised people unnecessarily.

Putin was a high ranking member of the KGB, staunch Stalinist and communist. He is not on the level of Napoleon or any great historical leader. He is a control freak which is the character of a Stalinist dictator.
