In this second volume of Philip Dwyer’s authoritative biography on one of history’s most enthralling leaders, Napoleon, now 30, takes his position as head of the French state after the 1799 coup. Dwyer explores the young leader’s reign, complete with mistakes, wrong turns, and pitfalls, and reveals the great lengths to which Napoleon goes in the effort to fashion his image as legitimate and patriarchal ruler of the new nation. Concealing his defeats, exaggerating his victories, never hesitating to blame others for his own failings, Napoleon is ruthless in his ambition for power. Following Napoleon from Paris to his successful campaigns in Italy and Austria, to the disastrous invasion of Russia, and finally to the war against the Sixth Coalition that would end his reign in Europe, the book looks not only at these events but at the character of the man behind them. Dwyer reveals Napoleon’s darker sides—his brooding obsessions and propensity for violence—as well as his passionate nature: his loves, his ability to inspire, and his capacity for realizing his visionary ideas. In an insightful analysis of Napoleon as one of the first truly modern politicians, the author discusses how the persuasive and forward-thinking leader skillfully fashioned the image of himself that persists in legends that surround him to this day.

'Napoleon's legend is so persistent that it confounds the historical reality in the popular imagination. He himself contributed much towards the construction of his own myth, from his youth even until after he fell from power, when, while in exile, he dictated his memoirs to a group of disciples who took down his every word in the hope that his version of history would prevail. Such were Napoleon's skills as a chronicler that much of the legend is still unquestioningly accepted...'

The Place: The Roman Empire. The Year: 62 AD, in the reign of Emperor Nero. Here begins the story of the Roman Emperors in an exciting new series of novels. Why begin in 62? The answer is because this year represents the high water mark of the Julio-Claudians. The first five Emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero were all related by blood. They all had inherited the throne because of family ties. It was an informal, vulnerable method of succession. If the system ever broke down, Rome would be plunged into a bloody civil war. The story of First Citizen Emperor covers the years 62 to 65. The cast of characters include: Empress Poppaea: She was the celebrated beauty of Rome. Nero killed both his mother and his first wife so he would be free to marry her. But could she provide him with a son, an heir to the throne? Senator Vespasian: A senior Senator of humble origins, he would became Governor in Africa and then a member of Nero's inner circle. How far would Fortune carry him? Prefect Tigellinus: In 62 he became a new co-Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Nero's bodyguard and private army. How ruthless and corrupting would his influence be on Nero? Prefect Faenius Rufus: Colleague to Tigellinus, he was the 'other Prefect.' How would his loyalty stand up to the political intrigue surrounding the Emperor? Senator Piso: Handsome, wealthy, and charming, would he join a conspiracy for the chance to replace Nero? Officers of the Praetorian Guard: Which of the Tribunes and Centurions charged with guarding the Emperor would join the conspiracy to murder him? Emperor Nero: Only 24 years old when the story begins, he has been Emperor for nearly eight years. But he is more interested in singing, playing the lyre, and chariot racing than ruling the Empire. How can he hold power and keep his troops loyal?
