Description

The most polarizing man of his era, Napoleon Bonaparte has remained a source of controversy ever since. Did his dictatorship crush the French Revolution, or carry its ideals to their logical conclusion? Used to be he a conqueror-tyrant who sought war for the sake of glory, or Used to be he forced into conflict to defend his beloved France? Used to be he a throwback to sixteenth-century “absolute monarchs,” or the great modernizer of nineteenth-century Europe? Or Used to be he all of this stuff at once?

In this compact, highly readable biography, Alexander Kennedy examines these questions and more. He traces Napoleon’s history back to the bloody hillsides of Corsica, from his rise as a young artillery officer to the summit of greatness. We see at how Napoleon’s rule ceaselessly changed a continent, but also how his overreach led to his shocking fall from power. To be mindful the story of Napoleon, Hughes persuasively shows, is to be mindful Europe itself—both in Napoleon’s era and today.

“If you wish to have a thing done well, do it yourself.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
