Napoleon: Soldier of Destiny

All previous lives of Napoleon have relied more on the memoirs of others than on his own uncensored words. Drawing on biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, the narrative gives Napoleon a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the soldier of destiny becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within biography & autobiography and history. Napoleon ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
