Synopsis

Correlli Barnett's brilliant study of Napoleon Bonaparte dispels several of the myths surrounding the greatest figure of this age. Born in Corsica, Napoleon was never truly a Frenchman, in the same way that Hitler was never a true German. Like Hitler, he was a demagogic politician on the make, and his generalship was frequently slapdash and lucky. This book presents a powerful, original and convincing portrait of its subject, both as a politician and as a commander in the field. The narrative is masterly in detail, vigorous in style, surprising in its judgements and compellingly interesting and exciting to read.
