After answering the question "Did Napoleon ever say which general he regarded as his best opponent? If yes, who is it?" I shared it with friends when the subject came up and thought it had humor and was interesting.  So I decided to share it here **Episode was republished on 15 August 2020 from the original recording and posting 8 January 2020 to reflect better sound recording equipment**
