Book for Reading Napoleon Bonaparte A Life Book by Andrew Roberts
Napoleon Bonaparte was not only a brilliant military strategist and a clever commander of soldiers, but was also a significant role model for future French colonies across the Atlantic and beyond. Like George Washington and his personal hero Julius Caesar, he was among the most important soldier-statesmen of the era.
Andrew Roberts's book, Napoleon: The Last Wars, is the first one-volume biography to make use of the thirty-three thousand letters written by Napoleon and published today, which revolutionize our understanding of Napoleon's character and motivation, making it the first one-volume biography to do so. Ultimately we can see him again: a multi-faceted protector, steadfast in his decision-making, unexpectedly at peace with his foes and his rebellious wife Josephine. Like Churchill, he recognized the strategic value of recounting his own life, and his memoirs, written from his exile on St. Helena, became the most popular book of the nineteenth century.
