Napoleon

Andrew Roberts complemented his magnum opus in writing (Napoleon the Great) with this 3 part documentary. It is well narrated, contains many interesting details and is a pleasure for the eyes in terms of locations, costumes etc. Roberts is clearly an admirer of Napoleon, somewhat forgiving of his cruelty and exaggerating a bit on other subjects. Many historians would rate The battle of Borodino as undecided, although the Russians did retreat, but the result can hardly be seen as victory.
