Napoleon was a second lieutenant at 16; a brigadier general at 24; and ruler of France by 30. This stunning biography; enhanced with 180 illustrations; vividly chronicles his incredible rise; his legendary battles; his conquest of Europe; and his eventual fall. Twenty items of removable facsimile memorabilia--military orders; battlefield reports; political proclamations; even love letters --complete this up-close and personal view of the man who; perhaps more than any other single person; shaped our modern world.
