re: Napolean analogy: Rather than a biography, or a military history, I'd suggest a history of the diplomatic/social/economic changes in Europe at that time. Look at France's failed Regime Change in Spain, and their failed Nation Building in Poland, the way they attempted to co-opt or destroy local elites, the way the ideology of Freedom often ended up meaning the freedom for Frenchmen to plunder foreign nations. The way the slogans of the Revolution got recycled to justify Imperialism.
