Book Synopsis
*First of two volumes, a masterly biography of the great French general, with special emphasis on his military genius.

Trade Review
Asprey's biography is well balanced overall in its judgements and does not suffer from the usual Anglo-American myopia which likes to depict Napoleon as the predecessor of Hitler * IRISH TIMES *
A level-headed and serious account of Napoleon's life, which is clear, objective and informative... the author is an expert on military history and it is not surprising that he should devote much space to the expeditions and battles... he follows Napoleon's actions closely and carefully and there is much to hold the reader's attention in this volume and one looks forward to its successor * SPECTATOR *
