Napoleon's Road to Glory

by J. David Markham

A stunning new biography that will put previous and current Napoleonic biographies in the shade. It is the single-volume account of Napoleon's whole career.

Puts to rest some of the myths surrounding Napoleon. His research is sound, his scholarship outstanding and his historical analysis well thought out; his account is a fine blend of scholarship and story telling.
Ben Weider, President, International Napoleonic Society; author, Assassination at St. Helena Revisited

J. David Markham, a leading Napoleonic expert and an international writer and lecturer, brings the Emperor to life in an accurate, well-researched text that will be accessible to all, with extensive footnotes to aid further study.

Markham's insight makes this book very enjoyable reading.
John G. Gallaher, President, Napoleonic Alliance; author, The Iron Marshal

Far more than a simple recitation of facts, Markham provides excellent historical analysis, explaining why Napoleon made his decisions, and what their consequences were.

David Markham has given the man and the events a totally original and new spin that is a veritable tour de force.
Prince Gregory Troubetzkoy, International Napoleonic Society; author, In the Service of the The Memoirs of Denis Davidov, 1806-1814

If you read only one book on Napoleon, Napoleon's Road to Glory should be that book.

Reviews

[Cathal O’Caomhanaigh]

Quite pro Napoleon but enjoyable.

[Mike]

This book gives an interesting account of the life of Napoleon not tarnished by British historians. While perhaps a little too favorable to the conqueror it is still an interesting point of view.

[Cameron Reilly]

A must read for people interested in Napoleon or European history.
