Summary

Born in Corsica, and a brilliant military leader during the French revolution, Napoleon became Emperor in 1804 and dominated European and indeed global affairs for the next ten years, leading France against a series of coalitions in what were later called the Napoleonic wars. Zamoyski assesses Napoleon and gives his own view of the greatness and legacy of one of history's most compelling figures
