At just thirty years of age, Napoleon Bonaparte ruled the most
powerful country in Europe. But the journey that led him there was
neither inevitable nor smooth. This authoritative biography focuses
on the evolution of Napoleon as a leader and debunks many of the
myths that are often repeated about him--sensational myths often
propagated by Napoleon himself. Here, Philip Dwyer sheds new light
on Napoleon's inner life--especially his darker side and his
passions--to reveal a ruthless, manipulative, driven man whose
character has been disguised by the public image he carefully
fashioned to suit the purposes of his ambition.
Dwyer focuses acutely on Napoleon's formative years, from his
Corsican origins to his French education, from his melancholy youth
to his flirtation with radicals of the French Revolution, from his
first military campaigns in Italy and Egypt to the
political-military coup that brought him to power in 1799. One of
the first truly modern politicians, Napoleon was a master of
"spin," using the media to project an idealized image of himself.
Dwyer's biography of the young Napoleon provides a fascinating new
perspective on one of the great figures of modern history.
