History Dinner

If I had to choose three people from history to have dinner with my first choice would be Napoleon. I would ask him what he was thinking when he launched the Russian Campaign. I know why he did it, I just want to hear him explain it himself. Many people do not like Napoleon. I do not know how I feel about him. He was so enigmatic.

I would also have dinner with Machiavelli. He is known for The Prince, the handbook of many absolutest leader. Even extreme for its time, the Prince brought the term "Machiavellian" into usage. However, The Prince was not representative of Machiavelli's personal viewpoints. I would discuss his actual views at dinner.

I would have dinner with Gandhi. My original choice was Martin Luther King Jr. but I admire them both so much, so I decided to go with the man who influenced Dr. King. I personally detest violence and do not approve of it under any circumstance, so I would love to speak with a man who utilized social disobedience.
