re: Napoleon Bonaparte's win-loss record is a sight to behold...

Anyone have a good book or podcast I should listen to? I don't think HCH has one on him.

Podcast: Age of Napoleon - Hands down the best narrative podcast on the era. It's still ongoing but he is more than half way through the story of Napoleon's life and career.

As far as books are concerned, I would recommend two. The first of which is Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts. It's a very good biography that I think most people who are interested in this topic will highly recommend. Another is The Campaigns of Napoleon by David Chandler. While the latter does offer some biographical information on Napoleon, it focuses almost exclusively on the study of his campaigns, battles, and the innovations he made in the logistics, strategy, and tactics of warfare.

Warning though: both books are long. However, the payoff is worth it.
