<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Robert Asprey charts Napoleon's thrilling, reckless rise to power in this fast-paced first volume of the definitive biography of the fascinating, enigmatic, and still mysterious tragic conqueror.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ever since 1821, when he died at age fifty-one on the forlorn and windswept island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte has been remembered as either demi-god or devil incarnate. In The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, the first volume of a two-volume cradle-to-grave biography, Robert Asprey instead treats him as a human being. Asprey tells this fascinating, tragic tale in lush narrative detail.<i> The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte</i> is an exciting, reckless thrill ride as Asprey charts Napoleon's vertiginous ascent to fame and the height of power. Here is Napoleon as he was-not saint, not sinner, but a man dedicated to and ultimately devoured by his vision of himself, his empire, and his world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Asprey</b> is a former U.S. Marine captain and an accomplished and esteemed military historian.
