The Napoleonic Flood
Gottschalk, Louis R. | May 15, 1929 issue

This article focuses on the books "Napoleon and His Family. The Story of a Corsican Clan Madrid-Moscow: 1809-1813," by Walter Geer; "Fouché the Man Napoleon Feared," by Nils Forssell; and "The Story of Napoleon Bonaparte," by Mabel S.C. Smith. The most-written-about figure in all modern history is Napoleon Bonaparte. In the last year scores of volumes have been added to the already numberless Napoleona. A good deal of what has recently been written about him is good; much of it-perhaps most of it-is bad. All three of these books belong to tile second category. Mr. Geer's book continues along the path laid down in his earlier volume on the same subject.
