Not surprisingly 90% of the stuff written about Napoleon in English is a covert for Albionic hagiography; which is doubly-disinteresting to me.
Does anyone know of Napoleonic-era fiction that is not premised around the Limeys saving the Universe from Proto-Hitler? I.E., the opposite of Sharpes, Master & Commander, etc.
Tolstoy's War and Peace comes to mind, and I suppose some of the Dumas novels do, too. Otherwise my forays into Napoleonic fiction have always run aground on the rocky shores of England.

Maybe learn French and read novels written in that language?

In passing, I'm looking for WWII fiction where the Yanks don't win the war single-handedly. No of any?

Hi,

On the question of WW2, you can consider a couple of books by Konstantine Simonov: Days and Nights, The Living and the Dead. or the series including Put out More Flags, by Eveyln Waugh. Hmm, there is HMS Ulysses, by, I think Alaistair McLeash. All in all, if the author is not from the US, the action is likely not to be US centric.
