Download or read book In Napoleon s Words written by Napoleon Bonaparte and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flash of Napoleon Bonaparte's sword so blinded men in his lifetime, and, indeed, long after, that they were unable to distinguish a second weapon in his hand. The clearer vision which time and study bring have shown that he used words almost as effectively as the sword, and that throughout his career the address ably supported the military manoeuvre. Between these pages Napoleon's official life can be traced in detail from Toulon to St. Helena. The most important documents which he wrote relating to public affairs is printed in the collection. Across the pages of this book the mighty procession of soldiers and generals, priests and cardinals, kings and peoples who, in the twenty years in which Napoleon was the preeminent figure of Europe, fell captive to his charms or his power. Here are the words by which he fired starving armies to battle, bullied obstinate powers to follow his plans, put hope into despot-ridden people, told kings their duties. Contents: Part I. The Campaign in Italy Part II. The Egyptian Expedition Part III. Napoleon, First Consul Part IV. Napoleon, Emperor of France Part V. The Fall of Napoleon Napoleon's Will
Download or read book Napoleon written by Paul Johnson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Paul Johnson, “a very readable and entertaining biography” (The Washington Post) about one of the most important figures in modern European history: Napoleon Bonaparte In an ideal pairing of author and subject, the magisterial historian Paul Johnson offers a vivid look at the life of the strategist, general, and dictator who conquered much of Europe. Following Napoleon from the barren island of Corsica to his early training in Paris, from his meteoric victories and military dictatorship to his exile and death, Johnson examines the origins of his ferocious ambition. In Napoleon's quest for power, Johnson sees a realist unfettered by patriotism or ideology. And he recognizes Bonaparte’s violent legacy in the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. Napoleon is a magnificent work that bears witness to one individual's ability to work his will on history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the book was prepared, our example was Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" book. Like the timeless work of Sun Tzu, Napoleon's comments on the art of war were selected, edited and categorized.These comments are from the memories of the people who were with Napoleon until his last moments. These memories were studied and Napoleon's ideas on the art of war and leadership were selected. These selections were categorized in the sixteen chapter.Here are the 16 chapters:1.NAPOLEON ON VICTORY AND GLORY(According to Napoleon, to live without victory and glory is to die every day.)2.NAPOLEON ON BOLDNESS, AUDACITY, AND COURAGE(According to Napoleon, bold resolutions enable a commander to emerge victorious from an uneven struggle.)3.NAPOLEON ON PLANNING, PREPARATION, AND CALCULATION(According to Napoleon, the great actions must proceed from a calculation.)4.NAPOLEON ON CIRCUMSTANCES AND FLEXIBILITY(According to Napoleon, the plan must be modified according to the circumstances and therefore, a commander must be flexible!)5.NAPOLEON ON CONCENTRATION AND CENTER OF GRAVITY(According to Napoleon, a commander must concentrate his forces on a single point.)6.NAPOLEON ON COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION(According to Napoleon, a commander must not allow corps to act separately, without communication with each other.)7.NAPOLEON ON VELOCITY AND NOT LOSING TIME(According to Napoleon, the rapidity increases the means of the victory.)8.NAPOLEON ON DECEPTION, SURPRISE AND EXAGGERATING YOUR FORCES (According to Napoleon, in war, in order to surprise an enemy, deception is a must! Also, according to Napoleon, a commander must always exaggerate the numbers of his forces.)9.NAPOLEON ON DISCIPLINE(According to Napoleon, without discipline there is no victory.)10.NAPOLEON ON DETERMINATION, CONSTANCY, AND RESOLUTION(According to Napoleon, how many things apparently impossible have nevertheless been performed by resolute men who had no alternative but death!)11.NAPOLEON ON PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL(According to Napoleon, the slightest circumstance decides the issue of a battle. Therefore, a commander must pay attention to details.)12.NAPOLEON ON COOL HEAD, SOUND REASONING, AND SOUND JUDGMENT(According to Napoleon, the foremost quality of a commander is to keep a cool head, to receive accurate impressions of what is happening.)13.NAPOLEON ON SIMPLICITY(According to Napoleon, the art of war is like everything that is beautiful and simple.

Intelligence is crucial.)15.NAPOLEON ON SECRECY(According to Napoleon, in war the first principle of a commander is to conceal what he is doing.)16.NAPOLEON ON LEADERSHIP(According to Napoleon, in war men are nothing; one man is everything. The presence of a commander is indispensable. Also, according to Napoleon, a commander is the head, the whole of an army. An army is nothing without the head.)We believe that Napoleon's these thoughts and comments on leadership and the art of war which we selected, edited and classified into 16 chapters, will lead commanders, businessmen/women, and individuals to victory when they face struggles.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mete Aksoy is teaching the art of war in Turkish Military Academy.

Book excerpt: From Andrew Roberts, author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Storm of War, this is the definitive modern biography of Napoleon It has become all too common for Napoleon Bonaparte's biographers to approach him as a figure to be reviled, bent on world domination, practically a proto-Hitler. Here, after years of study extending even to visits paid to St Helena and 53 of Napoleon's 56 battlefields, Andrew Roberts has created a true portrait of the mind, the life, and the military and above all political genius of a fundamentally constructive ruler. This is the Napoleon, Roberts reminds us, whose peacetime activity produced countless indispensable civic innovations - and whose Napoleonic Code provided the blueprint for civil law systems still in use around the world today. It is one of the greatest lives in world history, which here has found its ideal biographer. The sheer enjoyment which this book will give anyone who loves history is enormous.
Download or read book The Corsican A Diary of Napoleon s Life in His Own Words written by Napoleon I Emperor of the French and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleon, died on the lonely island of St Helena in 1821, his life, his actions and thoughts have been written about, re-written and revised ever since. It is noticeable that Napoleon himself never left much in the way of works written by himself to record what he did or how he went about it, or to justify his methods or outline his plans. The works that emanated from St Helena, such as the Memorial, were written by those that shared his captivity and for their own purposes. That having been said Napoleon lived in a time without modern communication methods, leaving his vast empire to be run via the pen. Much that Napoleon wrote survived as a measure of this the official correspondence that he left behind is voluminous, running to 32 volumes in the initial edition published under the orders of Napoleon III, many other volumes were published thereafter. From this vast treasure-trove of information about the thoughts, actions and orders that Napoleon left, the American historian Robert Johnson reconstructed his book “The Corsican”. The premise behind the books was to create a diary from Napoleon’s own works and utterances as if it has been written contemporaneously by the Emperor himself. The result is an intriguing book which is faithful to the words of it’s purported owner and includes the shifting themes of his life and his hopes and fears clearly. Fascinating reading. Author – Napoleon I – Emperor of the French 1769-1821 Editor – Robert Matteson Johnson 1867-1920

Download or read book Bonaparte written by Patrice Gueniffey and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 1037 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrice Gueniffey is the leading French historian of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic age. This book, hailed as a masterwork on its publication in France, takes up the epic narrative at the heart of this turbulent period: the life of Napoleon himself, the man who—in Madame de Staël’s words—made the rest of “the human race anonymous.” Gueniffey follows Bonaparte from his obscure boyhood in Corsica, to his meteoric rise during the Italian and Egyptian campaigns of the Revolutionary wars, to his proclamation as Consul for Life in 1802. Bonaparte is the story of how Napoleon became Napoleon. A future volume will trace his career as emperor. Most books approach Napoleon from an angle—the Machiavellian politician, the military genius, the life without the times, the times without the life. Gueniffey paints a full, nuanced portrait. We meet both the romantic cadet and the young general burning with ambition—one minute helplessly intoxicated with Josephine, the next minute dominating men twice his age, and always at war with his own family. Gueniffey recreates the violent upheavals and global rivalries that set the stage for Napoleon’s battles and for his crucial role as state builder. His successes ushered in a new age whose legacy is felt around the world today. Averse as we are now to martial glory, Napoleon might seem to be a hero from a bygone time. But as Gueniffey says, his life still speaks to us, the ultimate incarnation of the distinctively modern dream to will our own destiny.
