Good read. I don't know much about that era. Learned alot. And you see it today.

Would you recommend the Napoleon book or the Isaacson book on Da Vinci?

Napoleon for sure, amazing book.

The Da Vinci one is good, but the in depth art stuff tested my patience a little bit. I think he spent 10 pages discussing the Mona Lisa's eye brows (or lack thereof). That is of course unless you're a far bigger art aficionado than I :)
