Johnson tells the whole story: his astonishing gift for battle tactics and his complete control of propaganda. His audacious, hyperactive and aggressive leadership alongside his failure as an international statesman, as Europe grew to hate him. His marshals and ministers; his wives, mistresses. The mistakes he made; the escape from Elba, and the world-changing events leading up to Waterloo and the battle itself. This riveting account is a fascinating look at one of the most notorious military leaders of all time.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: LivesTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
