Description

Napoleon Volume 2: The Spirit of the Age by Michael Broers is a masterful biography that explores the most extraordinary stage of Napoleon's life, from 1805 to 1810. During this period, he was at war with Britain, Russia, and Austria, leading his Grande Armée to victory after victory. The first resounding triumph came at Austerlitz, followed by a whirlwind of campaigns that left opponents reeling. By 1810, Napoleon had divorced Josephine and married the daughter of the Austrian Emperor, cementing his position as the dominant force in Europe. This book provides vivid detail on these five years, during which Napoleon seemed invincible. A compelling and meticulously researched account, The Spirit of the Age sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of one of history's most fascinating figures.
