You bet! We are fans of Napoleon. No doubt about it.
I think you’ll find our opinions on the show are just that - opinions! We have never claimed to be bias free. This ain’t the BBC.
One of my objectives when I started the series was to promote the case FOR Napoleon, as I [...]

A friend sent me this link to Yahoo News this morning. It seems that every year there is a new story from a research group somewhere saying they have the definitive answer on what Napoleon died from. As most of you will already know, David’s good friend Ben Weider co-authored a book, The Murder Of [...]

I discovered this album by accident this morning. It’s a shame more of these tracks aren’t available for download or I’d start putting them into the show. You can listen to short previews of each track though and download the one below for free. Click on the album art for more information.

Today, 2 December 2006, is the 202nd anniversary of Napoleon’s Coronation as Emperor Of The French and the 200th anniversary of the Battle Of Austerlitz. Vive Le Empereur!

As you may have heard on our Egypt podcast, some of David’s personal collection is currently on display at The Dahesh Museum of Art exhibit Napoleon on the Nile: Soldiers, Artists, and the Rediscovery of Egypt. The museum also has their very first Podcast featuring Bob Brier, Ph.D., renowned Egyptologist and host of the TLC [...]

Our apologies folks. Unfortunately David has had to take an unscheduled trip out of town for a few weeks and it has meant delaying the next show. The Pyramids will have to wait another couple of weeks. Until then, I discovered this site tonight which I thought I’d share with you: The Napoleon Series Military [...]

David was interviewed recently by The Observer newspaper in the UK about the upcoming films on Napoleon’s friendship on St Helena with Betsy Balcombe.
Unfortunately the article doesn’t mention our friend Staton Rabin, who wrote a book on the friendship which is being used as the source material for the other film mentioned in the article, [...]

I’m going to set up links to Google Maps of Napoleonic sites as we journey through this show. For those of you not familiar with Europe, it might help to put some tales into context.
So, in order to start the beginning, here’s a link to Napoleon’s house in Ajaccio.
If you have Google Earth installed, you [...]
