The sum of Napoleonic literature is so immense that it might be wondered whether there is any need for a new Life of Napoleon. But there has been no important life in English since that by J. Holland Rose, first published in 1901, and last reprinted in 1934. It is hoped that there will be a welcome for a fresh attempt to summarize the history and access the importance of the period 1794-1815. J. M. Thompson’s book, Napoleon Bonaparte: His Rise and Fall, which was first published in 1951, is a sequel to his French Revolution, published in 1944. Its subject is the French people in its post-revolutionary mood, as interpreted and exploited by a foreigner who was at once a professional soldier and an administrative genius. The main source of information is Napoleon’s own correspondence, of which Mr. Thompson published a selection, translated as Letters of Napoleon, in 1934. In this present volume, J. M. Thompson has attempted to tell the story of the rise and fall of a dictator, whilst simplifying the historical background by dealing in turn with each of Napoleon’s main spheres of interest: Corsica, Italy, Egypt, Germany, Russia, England.

Ever since 1821, when he died at age fifty-one on the forlorn and windswept island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte has been remembered as either demi-god or devil incarnate. In The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, the first volume of a two-volume cradle-to-grave biography, Robert Asprey instead treats him as a human being. Asprey tells this fascinating, tragic tale in lush narrative detail. The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte is an exciting, reckless thrill ride as Asprey charts Napoleon's vertiginous ascent to fame and the height of power. Here is Napoleon as he was-not saint, not sinner, but a man dedicated to and ultimately devoured by his vision of himself, his empire, and his world.

Since his untimely death aged fifty-one in 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte has been too often the victim of biographical revisionism that treats him either as a demi-god or as devil incarnate. In the first of this monumental new two-volume biography, Robert Asprey has preferred to treat him as a human being. The Rise and Fall of Napoleon (Volume 1: The Rise) chronicles the beginning of this most extraordinary of lives, from Napoleon's birth in 1769 to the historic Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, when he brilliantly defeated the Austro-Russian armies. What emerges is both a fascinating and contradictory figure: a child of the French Revolution who grew to be its master; who exploited the national will for what he believed to be the national good; who converted the surging passions of thirty million persons into an irresistible force to challenge and often topple archaic thrones; whose desire for European reforms ultimately fell victim to feudal superstition and misery. Based on years of research, Robert Asprey tells this remarkable tale with the even-handedness such a major historical figure deserves. He presents Napoleon as he was - a man dedicated to his vision of himself and his empire.

A Comprehensive Look at The Story of Napoleon Bonaparte's Ascent and DownfallDiscover How the Brilliant French Emperor Won Europe and Lost Everything Follow the meteoric rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history's greatest military strategists and leaders. This expansive work chronicles Napoleon's origins as a young French artillery officer during the turbulent times of the French Revolution to his days of conquest as Emperor to his ultimate defeat and exile. Beginning with Napoleon's crucial role in the Siege of Toulon and his famous "Whiff of Grapeshot" stand during an armed uprising in Paris, the book then takes you through his bold campaigns against Austria, Egypt, and other European powers. With dynamic battle narratives, you'll relive Napoleon's masterful victories at Marengo and his crowning triumph at Austerlitz as he establishes his legendary reputation as a military commander. But the seeds of Napoleon's demise were sown as his ambition drove him to overextend himself with the disastrous invasion of Russia and the nightmare of occupation during the Peninsular War. As Napoleon's empire becomes overstrained, the book builds to the fateful Battle of Leipzig and a continent turning against him, culminating in his final forced abdication and banishment. This complete military biography provides an intimate understanding of the visions of glory, reckless decisions, and eventual ruin of one of history's most towering and enigmatic figures. Perfect for fans of character-driven history, it's a front row seat to the dramatic spectacle of Napoleon's rise and fall.

Napoleon written by Steven Englund and has been published by Simon and Schuster this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010-05-11 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

This sophisticated and masterful biography, written by a respected French history scholar who has taught courses on Napoleon at the University of Paris, brings new and remarkable analysis to the study of modern history's most famous general and statesman. Since boyhood, Steven Englund has been fascinated by the unique force, personality, and political significance of Napoleon Bonaparte, who, in only a decade and a half, changed the face of Europe forever. In Napoleon: A Political Life, Englund harnesses his early passion and intellectual expertise to create a rich and full interpretation of a brilliant but flawed leader. Napoleon believed that war was a means to an end, not the end itself. With this in mind, Steven Englund focuses on the political, rather than the military or personal, aspects of Napoleon's notorious and celebrated life. Doing so permits him to arrive at some original conclusions. For example, where most biographers see this subject as a Corsican patriot who at first detested France, Englund sees a young officer deeply committed to a political event, idea, and opportunity (the French Revolution) -- not to any specific nationality. Indeed, Englund dissects carefully the political use Napoleon made, both as First Consul and as Emperor of the French, of patriotism, or "nation-talk." As Englund charts Napoleon's dramatic rise and fall -- from his Corsican boyhood, his French education, his astonishing military victories and no less astonishing acts of reform as First Consul (1799-1804) to his controversial record as Emperor and, finally, to his exile and death -- he is at particular pains to explore the unprecedented power Napoleon maintained over the popular imagination. Alone among recent biographers, Englund includes a chapter that analyzes the Napoleonic legend over the course of the past two centuries, down to the present-day French Republic, which has its own profound ambivalences toward this man whom it is afraid to recognize yet cannot avoid. Napoleon: A Political Life presents new consideration of Napoleon's adolescent and adult writings, as well as a convincing argument against the recent theory that the Emperor was poisoned at St. Helena. The book also offers an explanation of Napoleon's role as father of the "modern" in politics. What finally emerges from these pages is a vivid and sympathetic portrait that combines youthful enthusiasm and mature scholarly reflection. The result is already regarded by experts as the Napoleonic bicentennial's first major interpretation of this perennial subject.

Until now, there has been no study of the significant errors that Napoleon made himself which, though apparently trivial at the time, proved to be major factors in his downfall. Digby Smith tracks his rise to power, his stewardship of France from 180415, and his exile. He highlights his military mistakes, such as his unwillingness to appoint an effective overall supremo in the Iberian Peninsula, and the decision to invade Russia while the Spanish situation was spiralling out of control.
