Napoleon

by Paul Johnson

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 208 PAGES

Short, enlightening and opinionated, this "Penguin Life" is Paul Johnson's take on Napoleon Bonaparte -- to whose power grab he traces the roots of 20th-century totalitarianism. It chronicles the major events of the emperor's life from his birth on Corsica to his death on St. Helena.  (FRN348, $14.00)
