This unique collection sheds light on the short but momentous historical period that changed the course of history and the man this era is named after. Napoleon became the symbol of the French revolution and equality of men, the living example of the superior cunningness that can transform a soldier to an emperor. The goal of this edition is to uncover the real man behind the symbols and the evolution of his character. This collection covers the rise of and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, the history of seemingly endless wars, campaigns and conquests that powered his rise to the throne, and eventually determined his downfall. The edition includes Napoleon's works on strategy, political and military writings, the memoirs of his closest friends and biographies of the ruler.
