NOW A MAJOR BBC2 TV SERIESAWARDED THE PRIX DU JURY DES GRANDS PRIX DE LA FONDATION NAPOLEON 2014 From Andrew Roberts author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Storm of War this is the definitive modern biography of Napoleon Napoleon Bonaparte lived one of the most extraordinary of all human lives In the space of just twenty years from October 1795 when as a young artillery captain he cleared the streets of Paris of insurrectionists to his final defeat at the (horribly mismanaged) battle of Waterloo in June 1815 Napoleon transformed France & Europe After seizing power in a coup d'etat he ended the corruption & incompetence into which the Revolution had descended In a series of dazzling battles he reinvented the art of warfare; in peace he completely remade the laws of France modernised her systems of education & administration & presided over a flourishing of the beautiful ' Empire style' in the arts The impossibility of defeating his most persistent enemy Great Britain led him to make draining & ultimately fatal expeditions into Spain & Russia where half a million Frenchmen died & his Empire began to unravel More than any other modern biographer Andrew Roberts conveys Napoleon's tremendous energy both physical & intellectual & the attractiveness of his personality even to his enemies He has walked 53 of Napoleon's 60 battlefields & has absorbed the gigantic new French edition of Napoleon's letters which allows a complete re-evaluation of this exceptional man He overturns many received opinions including the myth of a great romance with Josephine she took a lover immediately after their marriage & as Roberts shows he had three times as many mistresses as he acknowledged Of the climactic Battle of Leipzig in 1813 as the fighting closed around them a French sergeant-major wrote ' No-one who has not experienced it can have any idea of the enthusiasm that burst forth among the half-starved exhausted soldiers when the Emperor was there in person If all were demoralised & he appeared his presence was like an electric shock All shouted Vive l' Empereur! & everyone charged blindly into the fire' The reader of this biography will understand why this was so ...
