Description
Alberto Bioletti's life was far from the clockwork precision he had expected to follow in his father's footsteps. Influenced by the European revolutionary tide, Bioletti joined the French Army and embarked on a very different destiny.
From Italy to Egypt, Haiti to England, Paris to Kazan, Bioletti's adventures are rich in authentic detail, taking him through some of the most gruelling campaigns of Napoleon's rise and fall. His story is one of survival, unexpected triumphs, and the human cost of war.
Based on extensive research into Bioletti's life, this gripping tale offers a fresh perspective on a little-known chapter in history.
