my one complaint about Roberts' biography is how much he glosses over the events, machinations, and key players of the actual revolution. for example you definitely need to read supplemental material if you want to really understand who Robespierre and the Jacobins were, what their role in the revolution was, and why Robby was ultimately executed.
the obvious answer is because it's only tangentially related to napoleon's life, but it ends up being detrimental to showing Napoleon's character and motivations as a young man, as well as the exact political climate that enabled him to rise to power.
Step 1) stand in front of a mirror
Step 2) growl out as low and loud as you can LA FRONSSE until it becomes the default setting for your voice,
Step 3) Shoot your hands up towards the sky shouting, “I found the crown of France in the gutter and picked it up with my sword!”
Step 4) gently lower your hands to rest lightly by your temples and say, “And it was the PEOPLE who placed it on my head…”
Repeat as necessary.
There was a greek saying using his name stating something like >The Leon of Napoleon is going around destroying cities
It was like >Napoleon apoleon poleon leon on
Learn Italian
