Napoleon: Soldier of Destiny

Written with great energy and authorityâ€”and using the newly available personal archives of Napoleon himselfâ€”the first volume of a majestic two-part biography of the great French emperor and conqueror.

All previous lives of Napoleon have relied more on the memoirs of others than on his own uncensored words.Â This is the first life of Napoleon, in any language, that makes full use of his newly released personal correspondence compiled by the NapolÃ©on Foundation in Paris. All previous lives of Napoleon have relied more on the memoirs of others than on his own uncensored words.

Michael Broers' biography draws on the thoughts of Napoleon himself as his incomparable life unfolded. It reveals a man of intense emotion, but also of iron self-discipline; of acute intelligence and immeasurable energy. Tracing his life from its dangerous Corsican roots, through his rejection of his early identity, and the dangerous military encounters of his early career, it tells the story of the sheer determination, ruthlessness, and careful calculation that won him the precarious mastery of Europe by 1807. After the epic battles of Austerlitz, Jena and Friedland, France was the dominant land power on the continent.

Here is the first biography of Napoleon in which this brilliant, violent leader is evoked to give the reader a full, dramatic, and all-encompassing portrait.
