| | 1. |  | Napoleon: The Path to Power
from Yale University Press
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
Napoleon is somewhat new to me. Some how, I have managed not to read much about the man notwithstanding his immense historical importance. I thus looked forward to this work by Philip Dwyer.

from McBooks Press
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
By now we've heard almost all the sail commands and maneuvers possible, and Kent seems to have run out of new sea lore.
