start with biographies, since those at least have somewhat of a "narrative". pic related would be a good choice, the napoleonic epic is truly one of the most fascinating stories that actually occurred

Les Mis has a pretty sizeable section on Waterloo as well that you can buy as a standalone book. From memory it make a lot of references without explaining them

A Life by Andrew Roberts is the only one really. Based on thousands of letters that weren't available before and it's very well written, around 1000 pages.

Andrew Robert’s Napoleon the Great (sometimes also titled Napoleon, a life) is absolutely fantastic.

Though he does glorify the meat grinder that was the napoleonic wars.
