Tales of Napoleon have inspired a variety of passionately held yet conflicting visions. God-like genius, romantic avatar, megalomaniac monster, compulsive warmonger, or nasty little dictator? Napoleon pulls back the layers of prejudice and puts the story of this man in the actual contexts of his time. Full of information from trusted primary sources and beautifully illustrated portraits, this book provides an in-depth examination of Napoleone Buonaparte – where he grew up, how he became who he was and achieved what he did, and everything along the way.
