Reminds me of the discussion of Bonaparte in RMNW's Monarchy or Money Power book:

When a Government, Bonaparte declared, is dependent for money upon bankers, they and not the leaders of that Government control the situation, since “the hand that gives is above the hand that takes”. He did not allow anyone to

forget the shipments of gold to England organized by Barras at the expense of the army of Italy, and at a moment when France was denuded of metallic currency. “Money,” he declared, “has no motherland ; financiers are without patriotism and without decency : their sole object is gain.”

"condensing it to the most interesting passages, translating French and Italian passages, adding over 200 footnotes to give the reader context to the events and figures of the time discussed, and updating some of the antiquared language"

Are you saying you did all this?
