Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military and political leader who
rose to prominence during the latter stages of the French
Revolution and its associated wars in Europe. As Napoleon I, he was
Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1814. He implemented a wide
array of liberal reforms across Europe, including the abolition of
feudalism and the spread of religious toleration. His legal code in
France, the Napoleonic Code, influenced numerous civil law
jurisdictions worldwide. Napoleon is remembered for his role in
leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic
Wars. He won the majority of his battles and seized control of most
of continental Europe in a quest for personal power and to spread
the ideals of the French Revolution. Widely regarded as one of the
greatest commanders in history, his campaigns are studied at
military academies worldwide. He remains one of the most studied
political and military leaders in all of history.
A classic, comprehensive survey of pre-20th Century American
history, H.E. Marshall's This Country of Ours: The Story of America

Marshall masterfully retells the earliest poem in the Anglo-Saxon
language in simple prose, creating a rousing adventure about a
monster-slaying hero that is suitable for readers ages 8 and
older.
