Summary
Andrew Roberts: Napoleon the Great
This book, which was included in the *New York Times* bestseller list, won the Fondation Napoléon and the LA Times Book Prize. The life path of Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most fascinating in the history of mankind. In a period of barely twenty years, Napoleon fundamentally changed France and Europe. He scored brilliant victories on the battlefields, while in peacetime he reshaped French laws and modernized education and administration. The inability to bring his greatest enemy, Great Britain, to his knees dragged him into exhausting and ultimately disastrous military campaigns in Spain and Russia, in which half a million Frenchmen lost their lives, and his empire began to crumble. Andrew Roberts more successfully than any other contemporary biographer captures Napoleon's inexhaustible energy - both physical and mental - and the magnetic attraction of his personality that was felt even by his enemies. The author relies on the recently published thirty-three thousand letters of Napoleon, which fundamentally change our understanding of his character and motives. We finally see him as he really was: a versatile man of incredible energy, determined and surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies, including his fickle wife Josephine. At the same time, Roberts does not write the book from the comfort of an armchair: he visited 53 battlefields from the era of the Napoleonic wars, thoroughly researched the archives in search of unknown documents, and traveled by boat to St. Helena. Skillfully interweaving political and military history, the author provides us with a portrait of Napoleon that is at once vivid, understandable and based on sources. Before you is a biography that will become a starting point for anyone who wants to seriously understand who this exceptional man really was and why Roberts rightly calls him Napoleon the Great.
