NAPOLEON. A BIOGRAPHY
by Frank McLynn

No dustjacket, black boards with some white marks on front and rear. Tracing Napoleon's extraordinary career, the author examines the Legend from the Corsican roots, through the years of the French Revolution and military triumphs, to the coronation in 1804 and ultimate defeat and imprisonment. Napoleon, the man, emerges as an even more fascinating character than previously imagined, and McLynn brilliantly reveals the extent to which he was both existential hero and plaything of Fate; mathematician and mystic; intellectual giant and moral pygmy; Great Man and deeply flawed human being.

NAPOLEON 1812
by Nigel Nicolson

Napoleon's invasion of Russia is one of the most dramatic events in history. It occupied only six months, June to December 1812, and during that period nearly half a million men died. At the start Napoleon was at the height of his power. At the end he faced the destruction of his empire. Why did he invade Russia and why, in spite of his early successes and the capture of Moscow, did he fail? The author examines the story afresh. He considers why one of the greatest commanders in history failed and one of its least gifted succeeded, how Tolstoy misinterpreted the drama, and how Hitler, 130 years later, failed to benefit from Napoleon's example.

NAPOLEON AND TALLEYRAND
