Napoleon Bonaparte: A Life by Alan Schom
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 MB
Overview: From humble beginnings on the island of Corsica, Napoleon became ruler of France and pursued a military strategy of expansion fed by his lust for power over all Europe as a ‘new Alexander the Great’. In this classic biograpy, Alan Schom chronicles the battles and conquests which Napoleon led, and offers portraits of Napoleon’s chief generals and statesmen, including Talleyrand and Fouché. More than a description of men, it is a telling of a fierce period in European history. There is also an account of Napoleon’s final days, during which he was poisoned. Schom lists the suspects in the murder, which brought an end to the life of a controversial figure who made huge territorial gains for the New Republic of France. The life of Napoleon Bonaparte is an extremely thorough account by Alan Schom in which he gives ‘a balanced insight’ into the man and his actions.
