Publisher's Summary:
The first emperor of France and one of the shrewdest military leaders of all time, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) eventually came to control much of Europe. In Simply Napoleon, authors J. David Markham and Matthew Zarzeczny tell Napoleon's story, from his birth on the island of Corsica to his eventual imprisonment and death on the island of Saint Helena.
They explain how the famed military commander's unique combination of determination, intellect, and personal charisma allowed him to rise from a provincial village to become a powerful and authoritative ruler. While taking an overall positive view of Napoleon, Markham and Zarzeczny also make it a point to draw attention to his mistakes and their consequences, providing a balanced picture of this complicated figure who was both a product of his times and a man pointing the way to the future.
Marked by first-rate scholarship, as well as a highly listenable and accessible style, Simply Napoleon is an exceptional introduction to Napoleon and his times - a study that not only illuminates a key personality and period in modern history, but also helps us understand how modern Europe took shape.
Members Reviews:
'Simply Napoleon' provides the quick and easy introduction regardless of background
If you have ever wondered why Napoleon inspires interest not just in France but around the world even to this day, 'Simply Napoleon' provides the quick and easy introduction regardless of background. This blitz through the storied life of the man himself nevertheless still finds time to connect larger international currents from the Society of United Irishmen to the Haitian Revolution. While the authors admire Napoleon, their subject remains human, and great efforts are made to present a rounded figure for the reader to judge, including a useful annotated guide for further reading. However one views the French general and emperor, the bookâs central point is achieved with abundant clarity: an understanding of the modern world is incomplete without Napoleon.
