Critics Review
-
’In our time,’ Napoleon is reported to have said to an aide in 1796, ’no one has the slightest conception of what is great. It is up to me to give them an example.’ Neil Wenborn’s Napoleon – In a Nutshell explores the man behind the myth, not easy when, as his secretary wrote: ’Each of us, without ceasing to be honest, can show a different Napoleon.’ An enjoyable and painlessly informative listen, with Rupert Degas a splendid narrator.

Synopsis
Napoleon is one of the giants of modern history. From the last days of the French Revolution to the epochal battle of Waterloo he bestrode the political landscape of Europe like a colossus, and the age to which he gave his name remains one of the most tumultuous in the history of the continent. But who was Napoleon Bonaparte? And why does he still arouse such powerful passions? This audiobook traces the remarkable rise and fall of a man who, as military leader and lawgiver, left his mark on the lives of millions in France and beyond, and whose presence continues to be felt in Europe and the wider world to the present day.
