亚马逊读者的评价:
As a collector of Napoleon medals, one is keenly aware of the material available concerning the cataloging and enumeration of the various medals produced before, during and after the reign of Napoleon I. Most are volumes produced back in the 19th Century, of which few useable copies exist. In many cases the books themselves are as collectable as the medals they represent. Imagine my excitement upon finding this newly produced volume! Upon finding the book, I quickly ordered a copy and have been thoroughly impressed. The photographs are beautiful, large and in color and the supporting text is very accurate and interesting. Unlike most books dealing with this subject, this volume weaves in the relationship of artistry as a form of propaganda, something that Napoleon I exploited to his great advantage. The historical context of the medals is important to truly understanding their underlying linkage to Napoleon. I highly recommend this book for any student of Napoleon, whether you collect the medals, or not.
