Napoleon Bonaparte, self made man and Emperor of the French, died 189 years ago today, in exile on St. Helena.
I never knew anything much about Napoleon, other than the standard jokes about him being short. As an adult, I picked up Alan Schom's biography of Napoleon, and was shocked with how little I knew during a supposedly good education. I subsequently listened eagerly to The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast, ably co hosted by my Twitter pal @cameronreilly, which you can find here. I recommend it.
