Napoleon (Routledge Historical Biographies)

By Gemma Betros

Book Overview

Napoleon remains one of the most celebrated and debated figures in French history. This new critical life explores the processes by which a young Corsican general came to rule and bring stability France after the revolution, and went on to create, and then lose, a powerful empire. Drawing on archival material and copious scholarly works, it provides a much needed introduction to Napoleon's life, legacy and reputation for students and general readers alike.
