Napoleon Bonaparte's character and achievements have always divided critics and commentators. In this compelling new biography, Frank
McLynn draws on the most recent scholarship and throws a brilliant light on this most paradoxical of men -- as military leader, lover, and
emperor. Tracing Napoleon's extraordinary career, McLynn examines the Promethean legend from his Corsican roots, through the years of the
French Revolution and his military triumphs, to his coronation in 1804 and ultimate defeat and imprisonment. McLynn brilliantly reveals the extent
to which Napoleon was both existential hero and plaything of Fate; mathematician and mystic; intellectual giant and moral pygmy; great man and
deeply flawed human being.
-- This massive biography not only sets forth Napoleon's deeds and acts but explores the motivations behind them. Readers always want to
understand what makes great historical figures tick.
-- Impeccably researched and clearly written for the general public.
-- Gives the reader an eagle's eye view of European history during the 40-year period of Napoleon's reign.

Review: Napoleon: A Biography
User Review - Windsor - Goodreads
Little hesitant about this book, mostly because of the author's willingness to jump around on what he writes books on. Not to say he's not an
expert (the book is amazing) but I find some of what he says at times a stretch if it is believed to be true. Read full review
This fascinating, scholarly study by one of the world's foremost authorities on Galileo offers a vivid portrait of one of history's greatest minds.
Detailed accounts, including many excerpts from Galileo's own writings, offer insights into his work on motion, mechanics, hydraulics, strength of
materials, and projectiles. 36 black-and-white illustrations.
