While Austerlitz, Borodino, and Waterloo stand among the greatest battles in history, Napoleon Bonaparte was far more than a military genius. Roberts presents the first one-volume biography to fully integrate the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, radically transforming our understanding of his character and motivation. Revealing him as a protean multitasker, decisive leader, and surprisingly forgiving figure, Roberts proves Napoleon was one of the greatest soldier-statesmen of all time, alongside George Washington and Julius Caesar. With profound insight, Roberts draws on fresh archival discoveries and his own journeys to fifty-three of Napoleon's sixty battle sites—including a voyage to St. Helena—to present a magisterial, beautifully written portrait worthy of its historic subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eTarget Audience \u0026amp; Reader Targeting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThis comprehensive biography is essential reading for military historians, academics, and readers fascinated by the complexities of European history and political strategy.
