"History is a Set of Lies Agreed Upon" is a collection of biographical sketches of the French military and political leader Napol?on Bonaparte, by various authors. Napol?on Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a French political and military leader during the Revolutionary Wars who ruled as Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and again in 1815. Winning the vast amount of battles against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars, he was able to establish a large empire covering continental Europe that lasted until its collapse in 1815.
