Though his reign was short and ended in bitter defeat, he forever changed European life. He dismantled the feudal world symbolized by the Holy Roman Empire, abolished the Inquisition, and reformed civil law by establishing the Napoleonic Code. Never have subsequent events so convincingly proven the vanquished to be right.
The entire scope of Napoleon's career is detailed, featuring such highlights as:
-- The young general's service to the Revolution
-- Napoleon's campaigns in Italy and Egypt
-- Napoleon becomes Consul then Emperor
-- Glorious battles and the conquest of Europe
-- The slow decline from Russia to Waterloo
The vividly written and insightful text, enhanced by reproductions of historic paintings, illustrations of battle scenes, and replicas of authentic documents, make this volume a valuable addition to the library of layman and scholar alike.
