Synopsis
A definitive biography of Bonaparte from his birth in Corsica to his death in exile on St Helena, this book examines all aspects of Bonapartes spectacular rise to power and his dizzying fall. It offers close examination of battlefield victories, personal torments, military genius, Bonapartes titanic ego and his relationships with the French government, Talleyrand, Wellington and Josephine. A consummate biography of a complex man., A definitive biography of Bonaparte from his birth in Corsica to his death in exile on St Helena, this book examines all aspects of Bonaparte's spectacular rise to power and his dizzying fall. It offers close examination of battlefield victories, personal torments, military genius, Bonaparte's titanic ego and his relationships with the French government, Talleyrand, Wellington and Josephine. A consummate biography of a complex man., This lively, brilliantly written one-volume biography-the only complete, single-volume biography available in any language-captures the spectacular rise and dizzying fall, the battlefield victories and personal struggles of one of history's most powerful and fascinating figures. Filling a remarkable gap, Alan Schom, an acclaimed historian, scholar and author, offers the most complete picture ever of Napoleon Bonaparte, "the scourge of Europe" and France's greatest hero. Based on more than ten years of exhaustive research, Schom illuminates Napoleon's important economic and social reforms, his reorganization of the French government and his tempestuous personal life and its effect on his political decisions.aRemarkably ambitious and compulsively readable, Napoleon Bonaparte covers every aspect of l'Empereur's life and career, from his childhood on Corsica to his dramatic rise to the throne of France, his campaigns of conquest to this final crushing defeat at Waterloo and death in exile on St. Helena.
