Napoleon III, being accused on one occasion of having nothing of the Great Napoleon about him, replied with as much exasperation as wit, that he did, on the contrary, have his relations. This book is a domestic chronicle of the incredible Bonaparte family, a greedy, amorous, quarrelsome and hot-blooded Corsican clan who provided nineteenth-century Europe - and America - not only with two French emperors, but also with a dazzling assortment of pretenders and parvenus, statesmen and eccentrics, great ladies and adventuresses. Plumped on to the thrones of Europe by the career of Napoleon I, who probably took better care of his family than any conqueror in history, the Bonapartes survived the wreck of the two empires they ruled, buzzing around the honeypots of the continent with all the persistence of the imperial bees of Napoleon's crest. This is a personal history, not a political one. It is the family, with its eccentricities, vulgarities and fascinations manifesting themselves in generation after generation, which holds the centre of the stage. The great political, economic and military events of the time are heard dimly as 'noises off'. Napoleon I himself appears as son, brother, husband, father and above all as founder of a dynasty, rather than as a great public figure. But about the family, its feuds, its treacheries, its love affairs, its moments of greatness and of human tragedy, Mr Aronson seems to have missed not one good story, from the squabbles of Napoleon's rebellious sisters over the carrying of Josephine's train, to Hitler's remarkable deal with Petain for the return of the body of the Duke of Reichstadt to his father's tomb in the Invalides. Mr Aronson paints his family portrait with a wealth of detail based on many years of research with historical documents and original records, letters, memoirs and family diaries - for, in the end, no one seems to have been able to tell quite such a lurid tale about a Bonaparte as another Bonaparte.… (mer)

One of the best books covering the Bonaparte family.
Also refer to "Golden Millstones: Napoleon's Brothers and Sisters" by R.F Delderfield, & "Those Quarrelsome Bonapartes" by Robert Gordan Anderson. ( )

Edited to add:
I changed this review and rating on 3/27/20. While reading Crowns of Conflict by this author I came across the following quote:
'The ambitious King Leopold II of the Belgians not only acquired but personally owned the vast Congo empire.'
King Leopold II of Belgium committed mass genocide against the Congolese Peoples.
He murdered 10 million people and Hitler based his practices during The Holocaust after this monster.
If you are not familiar with him or with this horrific genocide, I suggest reading: King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa by Adam Hochschild.
There's also a movie by that name that also deals with this.
I also encourage you to Google the photos from this genocide. They are brutal.
It is not ok to in ANYWAY refer to this behavior as 'ambitious'.
This author is a fucking Nazi and if he's not dead should be fucking shot.

Origianal review:
This was long but interesting ( )
