CHARLES MACKAY on the unlikeable Jean-Andoche Junot

Charles Mackay, known to Napoleonic Twitter by his brilliant soubriquet @BubblesVampire, had his PhD on Napoleonic nearly-man Andoche Junot supervised by the late great Donald D. Horward. We'll be hearing from Charles on the latest goings-on in Egypt in episodes 30 and 31, but hear he is talking us through the life of a complicated, wounded, not-always-likeable personality. Given Junot's multiple head wounds, and h is habit of self-medicating on opium and alchool, it is perhaps remarkable he accomplished as much as he did before his demons overtook him.
