Napoleon Bonaparte by Alan Schom.

[HFK]

Hello, I just finished reading "George, Nicholas and Wilhelm". The books is about their relationship and family kinship, from childhood until the end of WW 1. Our of almost 500 pages, only about the last 100 are about WW 1. An easy to read book, and highly interesting as it goes into how family relationship and national politics sometimes affect each other. Harry
