Session. What is the drive? The whiplash that goads man on to forsake family, friends, and loved ones. In an insatiable desire to conquer and subjugate lands beyond land.

Alexander cried like a child when there was no longer a nation to subjugate and grind beneath his military heel. Little men have often risen to a giant's height in the fanatic desire to reach the stars.

In just a moment you will hear the story of one such man who changed the destiny of the world, a Corsican of lowly birth whose name became the most feared throughout Europe. It is a story called Napoleon Bonaparte and stars Louis Merrell.

A narrative of an insane driving will, would seethed with an mind shut through with the dread and insidious cancer of an obsession. August 15, 1769 is perhaps one of the most portentous states in the chronicles of world

history. It was on this day that, in a tiny village of Corsica, a boy child was born. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, a figure predestined to become the little man of destiny. We shall begin this narrative long long after Napoleon had risen to the heights of success.

We had become Napoleon first, self-annointed emperor of the French realm. But a little military genius had vowed a conquest of all the Germanic empires. A nation after nation crumbled beneath his heel and gave ear to the dictates of this redotable Corsican.

Within the borders of Austria, in the city of Schundrün, the victorious Bonaparte smog and self-satisfied, reviewed his countering troops. But as he did, a two-trung youth broke from the ranks of the spectators. Don't help us!

I don't like to stop this time, but I should be more fortunate next time. And I promise you, there shall be a next time! Not in this world, God! I'm changed, placed on this up, God.
