Napoleon's Battles

by Henry Lachouque

This is a complete history in one volume of the twenty years of Napoleon's campaigns that began with the victory of Rivoli when he was 27 and ended with the disaster of Waterloo when he was still only 46. This book records all the details of those historic campaigns and battles but moreover it reveals, through Napoleon's actions, the dynamic portrait of a man who never explained himself and whose thoughts were kept in constant contact with reality by his will, but whose imagination was so swift and so clear that it became a part of the action in an instant.
