Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte

by Alan Schom

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 1998
  • PAPER
  • 888 PAGES

This extremely unflattering biography of Napoleon may upset admirers of the French ruler, but there is no denying author Alan Schom's enthusiasm for the subject. Going so far as to say Napoleon may not have even been much a military leader, Schom challenges some common notions of the Bonaparte legend, while giving well researched accounts of some of the most famous battles.  (FRN149, $24.99)
