If you want to know more about Napoleon you need to read Napoleon: A Life by Roberts. It’s lengthy but reads really well. Unlike other biographies Roberts had access to all Napoleon’s personal and official correspondence. After reading it I realized everything I was taught in school about him was mostly British propaganda.
He really did revolutionize military organization and his corps system is still used today. He made a number of political blunders mainly the “Continental” economic system. The biggest problem for him was the old monarchs were never going to accept him, they saw him as a peasant.

Some things never change. Even with Caesar, the people loved him, but the elite insiders had him assassinated
