the epochal battle of Waterloo he bestrode the political landscape of Europe like a colossus
and the age to which he gave his name remains one of the most tumultuous in the history of the
continent. But who was Napoleon Bonaparte? And why does he still arouse such powerful passions?
This audiobook traces the remarkable rise and fall of a man who as military leader and
lawgiver left his mark on the lives of millions in France and beyond and whose presence
continues to be felt in Europe and the wider world to the present day.
