Description
Napoleon: With an introduction by Andrew Roberts. A penetrating interpretation that offers a definitive portrait of the Napoleonic era. Georges Lefebvre's sweeping history takes us from Napoleon's lightning coup d'état in 1799 to his final downfall at Waterloo, covering the turbulent age he inaugurated with his attempt to redraw Europe's map. The book features a cast of characters including his antagonists and allies, providing an equally clear-eyed account of Napoleon's genius and flaws. Lefebvre's work is notable for its brilliant survey of the period, from the Peninsular War to the invasion of Russia, as well as its insightful analysis of Napoleon's legacy, which includes lasting educational, administrative, and financial initiatives.
