Napoleon: Biography
29.99 €
Professor Andrew Roberts' Napoleon is the first single-volume biography written since the publication of more than thirty thousand of Napoleon Bonaparte's letters, which have forced historians to radically rethink their views of his character and aspirations.
At last we see the great military leader and statesman as he really was: a versatile man, capable of solving many problems at once, with exceptional determination and, at the same time, an amazing willingness to forgive both his unfaithful wife Josephine, and his political opponents, and even his enemies.
Andrew Roberts, a renowned British historian and biographer who is equally well versed in political and military history, has visited 53 of Napoleon's 60 battlefields, discovered vital new documents in the archives, and even made a long sea voyage to St. Helena. The result of all this work was a biography worthy of its hero: authoritative, insightful and beautifully written by an outstanding specialist.
