Beschreibung
Napoleon rose from the chaos and horrors of the French Revolution to offer a shattered nation dreams of future glory, honor, and a return to leadership in Europe. After seizing power through a mix of propaganda and manipulated elections, Napoleon's armies waged what seemed like an endless war across Europe, from Portugal to Tsarist Russia. Many hundreds of thousands of people died in battles or from disease and hunger. France itself lost an average of 50,000 soldiers each year during Napoleon's rule. Napoleon claimed to promote the free-spirited values of the revolution to liberate the continent, but then allowed himself to be crowned emperor, initiated steps to restore hereditary monarchy, and reinstated slavery throughout the French Empire. Richly illustrated, this new biography by bestselling author Mike Lepine offers a fresh and unforgettable portrait of a true military legend.
