Napoleon: The True Story of the Life & Time of Napoleon Bonaparte the Emperor of France

Since the beginning of time there have always been leaders to emerge from the masses, and a few rise to such prominence, that long after they have departed the battlefield of life, their memory is preserved down through the ages, for each new generation to discover. One of the most famous amongst these heroes of history is Napoleon, who is to this day still known the whole world over, and whether his name is uttered with reverence due to the great man's undoubted military genius, or suggestively, with an attempt at a French accent, the image of a diminutive, rather rotund figure in a sweeping grey coat and fancy hat will most probably spring to mind. Yet finding the man behind the myth is a more difficult task altogether. Many thousands of books have been written about Napoleon, but as is so often the case with historic icons, opinion varies considerably.    
On the one hand Napoleon can be considered a truehearted and patriotic revolutionary with a tantalizingly tactical brain, exceptional leadership qualities, a mastery of combat skills, an ability to organize and finance better than any Government administrator, and a natural affinity for military strategy, that was, quite literally, beyond compare. Then on the other hand, some would, quite justifiably, brand Napoleon a bully and a tyrant, who possessed a ruthless and cynical desire for power and violence, along with an inflated ego that colored judgement and persuaded him that he could do no wrong, as seems to be wont of just about every military dictator, before Napoleon, or, for that matter, since. Regardless of which version of Napoleon is to be believed, evil dictator or inspiring military leader, or perhaps more likely, somewhere between the two, this journal will look at his truly fascinating and eventful life.
