Napoleon Bonaparte: History's Greatest Conquerors
Napoleon Bonaparte was a man of unique distinction, the kind that only comes once every few centuries. In fact, he was so unique that his lasting legacy is still debated to this very day.
This book provides a concise and proper portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte's character and career. Napoleon as he was-not saint, not sinner, but a man dedicated to and ultimately devoured by his vision of himself, his empire, and his world. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, France was in a state of division and anarchy, and in desperate need of a leader.
This book endeavors to examine his entire life, history that have made him such a compelling figure in the nearly 200 years since his death and balancing the different aspects of his character. It also presents the true stories and struggles faced by Napoleon Bonaparte. The lens of historical retrospect is a powerful one, and it has created varying viewpoints of many historical figures. But perhaps there has never been a legacy quite as eclectic as Napoleon’s. Napoleon could write lengthy treatises on the rights of man while holding his own in firefights that mowed down millions.
This Is What You Will Discover Inside:
● Napoleon at Artillery School
● Setting out to Conquer the World
● Napoleon’s Middle Eastern Odyssey
● The Napoleonic Code
● Napoleon’s Showdown with Britain
● Conquering Continental Europe
● Facing Million to One Odds

This is a good succinct summary of Napoleon‘s life. After reading it, I think Napoleon would have done best to adhere to the words of Kenny Rogers song: know when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, when to walk away, and when to run.
He could have been content when he was the conqueror of Egypt before he tried to invade the holy land. Or, he could have called it a day when he was emperor of France before he invaded Europe. You would think he’d be content as emperor of Europe before he attempted to take over Russia. Or, after getting kicked out of Russia, he should have taken Europe’s first peace treaty offer and remained emperor of France. But no. Even after getting exiled to Elba, he could have enjoyed the beach life as he had a pretty sweet set up.
But, it seems he was a slow learner and constantly ambiguous, which caused him to end up on Saint Helena in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Also a character from my favourite film, Bill & Ted. Couldn't just break the pattern that quickly, could I?
Napoleon was obsessed with the English in a way that only Scottish football fans can understand.
