Review of Napoleon

Napoleon (2000– )
8/10

In addition to the above minor criticism regarding repeating the myth about Napoleon's height, the producers took somewhat of an Anglophile view of L'Emperor, omitting a significant discussion of the extraordinary civil reforms and enlightened social changes he brought not only to France but also to many of the lands he conquered. On a more personal note, I wish there had been more and longer interviews with Dr. Donald Horward, founder of the Institute at Florida State University. I had the pleasure of having him as a professor at FSU 35 years ago, and he is one of those fantastic teachers that you can never forget. He was not only an incredibly dedicated and generous teacher, but he has a gift for story-telling by which to impart his great knowledge of history even to a bunch of cynical, otherwise disinterested B-school majors.
