    Anyone know what to get for this? I'm extremely interested in reading them, but I don't want to purchase the wrong book.

    I looked on Amazon, but there were a few versions and multiple volumes. So, does anyone have them, and, if so, can anyone recommend a copy to me?

    Sorry if this is the wrong section, seems like historical research to me.

    You want the version written by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne - Napoleon's Private Secretary. You will able to find a copy to download from Googlebooks http://books.google.com/books?id=H_g...page&q&f=false or the Gutenberg project, and having read some of it decide whether to purchase or not. Must say though it is some years since I have read this, but the account is clearly coloured from Napoleon's angle so treat a little caution.

    I see, Thanks for your help. And I would expect nothing less from Napoleon.
