Never in this centruy has the story been told in greater detail or to more dramatic effect than it is in Curtis Cate's ""The War of the Two Emperors."" The two emperors are Napoleon, of course, and Tsar Alexander I - erstwhile enemies and then, briefly, uneasy ""brothers,"" two men whose pride, suspicion, vanity, and stubbornness led them, and their nations, to a momentous confrontation. . . .
