Description
Napoleon: The Decline and Fall of an Empire: 1811-1821 In 1811, Napoleon stood at the pinnacle of his power, having defeated his continental rivals and secured a fragile peace with Russia. His personal life was calm and secure, with a new heir on the way with his wife Marie-Louise. However, this moment of unprecedented peace was short-lived, as the tides of war against the most powerful alliance in European history soon swept away all that he had built. This book tells the story of Napoleon's final years, from his defeat in Russia and the drama of Waterloo to his final exile on a barren island. Drawing on the remarkable resource of Napoleon's personal correspondence, Michael Broers explores the ever-bloodier conflicts, the disintegration and reforging of the bonds among the Bonaparte family, and the serpentine diplomacy that shaped the fate of Europe.
