The echoey sound of Andrew is sad. Whoever is in charge of sound goofed to a lot of TH-cam watchers' expense.
I highly recommend his book 'Napoleon the Great'
Fully agree.
I do, with one caveat: read a more critical one to counterbalance it. He tilts into hero worship.
@Aaron Clarke he was a hero..what are you English lol
@@andrewminnich5106 I am English, yes. One doesn’t have to be to find fault with his massacre of prisoners of war, his suppression of the press, his inability to listen to Talleyrand’s good advice and consolidate his gains, nepotism, his reinstatement of slavery, the Peninsular War etc.
He was a man. Not a hero. He made many mistakes.
@Aaron Clarke was it also his fault the English never stopped encouraging..and paying for constant wars against him? War mongering? He could of never eclipsed the English in that..lololol
Despite his actions at Waterloo, I really do respect Ney. One of my favourite marshals "I have fought a hundred battle for France and not one against her"
Ya I can't help but like him either, even though he blundered seemingly everywhere he held independent command. Great rear guard and certainly a soldier's soldier and brave, but a terrible strategist and tactician.
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Augustine Landon I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Augustine Landon It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Ali Cayden Glad I could help :D
At 17:24, one funny joke Adolf made was at a dinner party and he looked over at Goering who was eating ham and remarked, "I never knew pigs ate their own kind ."
I’m sure he also told the joke from Monty Python.
Nobody can control and manipulate masses without nuances in their character's traits. Like it or not, tyrants also laughed.
Vive l'Empereur!
A real leader in this world...vive l empereur
Vive l'empereur the great 👍
It is unusual that the camera person did not focus on a frontal view of Andrew Roberts's lecture. The side view sort of robs the speaker of presence. I couldn't watch it!
wait, Napoleon set the jews free? I no longer like him
good presentation ( and a very very strange and irrelevant question re Isis)
If only... France can rise..... one more time.... and become nationalistic
I guess that Harvey W. mini-series is on hold. lol
And so is Harvey himself.
I came to ponder on the subject of his 22 girlfriends -- he might have had a Romeo/Juliet aspect with some of them -- is it perhaps the difficulty to find everything you need in one woman that he went around like an explorer of the fair sex in an attempt to find all he sought ?
It has sensuality for its reason, sensuality for its source, sensuality for its cause, the reason being simply sensuality. The ego driven mind, culturally conditioned, dependant on ego gratification.
The ISIS question is one of the weirdest dumb things I have heard. Pointing out that ISIS also conquers things, sort of, and using that as some sort of comparison to 19th century napoleonic conquest is baffling. It's also so presentist it makes my stomach hurt.
Wanted to watch this - have the book- but the sound was too lousy. What gives?
It's a shame about the poor sound quality. I hold Mr. Roberts in the highest esteem but was not able to continue because of the tunnel-like distortion.
Horrific audio quality. 👎

British historians are the best. They have a sense of history, righteousness, mastery of English language, decency, moral code and perspective which no one has. Perhaps, this comes out of being an Island nation who once ruled the biggest empire the world has ever seen up till now and of course a larger vocabulary and love of their native tongue i.e. English.
O please
@@geert574 Kinda what I was thinking, lol.

@20:28 "Gallic domestic rowl" well, French people are Latinos; all Latinos share this trait of being openly passionate - in anger as in love.
In my opinion I would rephrase it to "Latino domestic rowl".
This may imply that the Anglo-Saxon domestic rowl is rather quiet non-eventful and void of projectiles. :)
Napoleon has no lessons for anybody -- unless they want to fail absolutely, and spend the rest of their life under house arrest
"You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war." -Napoleon
