BIBLIOGRAPHY
Given that works on Napoleon are reputed to number some 600,000, books on Paris must easily run into seven figures. For any author to assemble anything like a complete bibliography would be a lifetime’s task. Here, after a great amount of pruning, I have included books only that particularly aided me in writing this book.
