A rip-roaring yarn, a vast dramatis personae of emperors and princesses, marshals and bishops, mistresses and murderers . . . this book does, at it claims, presents the whole Napoleon, the public and the private face of an extraordinary man and his extraordinary life. Alan Schom presents a meticulously researched, rounded portrait not only of Napoleon but also of the principal figures surrounding him, and brilliantly presents his life and achievements while appropriately deflating his legend.
