Well I, for one, would not normally accept a bibliography of works on napoleon without at least some reference to French works. However, the work by Dwyer, who is somewhat of an authority on the subject, would put my mind at ease, He is a former student of Tulard, whose work features heavily in his own bibliography in “path to power”. Chuquet, “la jeunesse” but not “la chute” – but this is altogether to be expected as the work deals with the period 1769-1799. And anyone who can weave in politics and pedagogy has to be admired. For me, then, Dwyer is a “must have” and his excellent scholarly apparatus provides the interested reader with sufficient information about sources and interpretation to satisfy even the most enquiring and exacting mind.
