Napoleon: Rise of an Empire (The True Story of Napoleon Bonaparte) (Historical Biographies of Famous People)

The most polarizing man of his era, Napoleon Bonaparte has remained a source of controversy ever since.

Entering the fray as a volunteer in the war effort, he quickly proved his capabilities and became the most talented engineer of the Continental... [Read More]
