Download or read book Napoleon written by Adam Zamoyski and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of Napoleon -- hailed as "magnificent" by The Economist. "What a novel my life has been!" Napoleon once said of himself. Born into a poor family, the callow young man was, by twenty-six, an army general. Seduced by an older woman, his marriage transformed him into a galvanizing military commander. The Pope crowned him as Emperor of the French when he was only thirty-five. Within a few years, he became the effective master of Europe, his power unparalleled in modern history. His downfall was no less dramatic. The story of Napoleon has been written many times. In some versions, he is a military genius, in others a war-obsessed tyrant. Here, historian Adam Zamoyski cuts through the mythology and explains Napoleon against the background of the European Enlightenment, and what he was himself seeking to achieve. This most famous of men is also the most hidden of men, and Zamoyski dives deeper than any previous biographer to find him. Beautifully written, Napoleon brilliantly sets the man in his European context.

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.

Napoleon is a magnificent work that bears witness to one individual's ability to work his will on history.

Download or read book Napoleon a Historical Perspective written by Jose Gomez-Rivera III and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleon has long suffered from his detractors. This book is not a biography, but a perspective based on over a decade of my lectures on the subject and an effort to base a historical analysis of the era on sound historical sources and in the proper context in order to redress what; I view, as the failings of Napoleonic historiography. the historical analysis and interpretation of Napoleons role, actions and consequences to be flawed and tainted by a popular acceptance of historical interpretations proffered by British and commonwealth scholars that have portrayed him as a reactionary dictator driven by insatiable ambition to heights and then brought low by a coalition of liberating nations. This interpretation is, at best, misleading and the byproduct of British political goals during the Napoleonic Wars; brilliantly articulated and proselytized with wartime propaganda, and their aftermath. Propaganda often outlasts its purposes to become national myth. In this case, it has retained its hold on popular opinion as a result of intellectual laxity and resistance in challenging existing norms and opinions; which affects both the general reader as well as historians. Now let the debate begin.
