<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Simply Napoleon presents an overview of the life and accomplishments of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), one of the greatest and most controversial leaders in history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The first emperor of France and one of the shrewdest military leaders of all time, <strong>Napoleon Bonaparte</strong> (1769-1821) eventually came to control much of Europe. In <em>Simply Napoleon</em>, authors <strong>J. David Markham</strong> and <strong>Matthew Zarzeczny </strong>tell Napoleon's story, from his birth on the island of Corsica to his eventual imprisonment and death on the island of Saint Helena. </p><p>They explain how the famed military commander's unique combination of determination, intellect, and personal charisma allowed him to rise from a provincial village to become a powerful and authoritative ruler. While taking an overall positive view of Napoleon, Markham and Zarzeczny also make it a point to draw attention to his mistakes and their consequences, providing a balanced picture of this complicated figure who was both a product of his times and a man pointing the way to the future.</p><p>Marked by first-rate scholarship, as well as a highly readable and accessible style, <em>Simply Napoleon </em>is an exceptional introduction to Napoleon and his times--a study that not only illuminates a key personality and period in modern history, but also helps us understand how modern Europe took shape.</p>
