Description: Napoleon by Paul Johnson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A biography which deconstructs the Napoleonic myth and reveals the grim reality of his rule Publisher Description Written with great wit and panache, this biography also has a serious purpose: to make us face up to the moral bankruptcy of Napoleons dictatorship. Johnson tells the whole story: his astonishing gift for figures and calculation, his mastery of cannon; his audacious, hyperactive and aggressive generalship and his simple battle tactics; his complete control of propaganda and the success of the cultural presentation of the Empire; the Code Napoleon; his failure as an international statesman, as Europe grew to hate him; his marshals and ministers; his wives, mistresses, personal style and working methods; the British blockade and the Continental System; the mistakes in Spain and Russia. The escape from Elba, the events leading up to Waterloo and the battle itself, which gets a full treatment, is particularly riveting. Author Biography Born in 1928, Paul Johnson has written over 30 books and is one of Britains leading historians. His book Modern Times has been translated into 15 languages. A former editor of the New Statesman, he is a frequent contributor to newspapers throughout the world.
