An "engrossing compilation" of the legendary leader's own words that sheds light on history—and on his genius, arrogance, insecurities, and frustrations (Julian Stockwin, author of the Kydd series).
A powerful portrait of a complex individual, this book resembles a journal, with Napoleon's words—derived from his extensive correspondence and other records throughout his life—appearing as dated entries, reflecting his amazing attention to detail as well as his thoughts on war, politics, and the people he interacted with. He addresses matters both worldly import and personal concern, and the unique format allows us to experience events of the period as they happened—and to witness the emperor's response to the rise and fall of his fortunes.
In addition, scholar Philip Haythornthwaite provides a fascinating introduction that analyzes Napoleon's words, and includes biographical sketches of the key personalities of the era.
