Not a documentary, but I'm reading Andrews Roberts' book "Napoleon: A Life" (Napoleon the Great in non-America) and it's excellent.

Really good passage from earlier today that I was reading:

>Moreau had sneered at a previous attempt by Napoleon to reintroduce honours, awarding his cook 'the order of the saucepan'.

Pretty much all documentaries are shit and only provide basic information about whatever.

Pic related is great tho, although it's probably not what you're looking for.

Read soldiers letters from the Grand Army, and feel the thrill in your heart.

Read books instead. Infinitely better and infinitely more in-depth.

I think we also need to add a section on how to ask questions in the sticky. "Guys wut do I watch if I want to learn hitsory" is getting old.
