Not Only Is The Napoleonic Dream Stronger Today In Our Imaginations Than It Has Ever Been, But One Can Already Feel The Slow Falling Away Of Moral Opprobrium From Our Memory Of Hitler. In Another Fifty Years We May Well Find Ourselves Weighed Down By A Second Monstrous Dream Of Pure Grandeur To Match That Of The Emperor. Two Men Who Dared. Two Men Who Were Adored. Two Men Who Led With Brilliance. Two Men Who Administered Fairly And Efficiently. Two Men Who Were Modest In Their Own Needs But Surrounded By Lesser Beings Who Profited From Their Situation And Came Between The Hero And The People.
